The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater seeks to enhance undergraduate research in new mentors and faculty in traditionally underrepresented departments through a pilot program in which faculty may request salaries to hire undergraduates to assist them in their research.

Students working under the Research Scholars Program have the opportunity to collaborate with scholars on their own research. Faculty applying for such assistance should be engaged in working on a scholarly or creative project. The tasks assigned to the student should help develop his/her skills as a scholar and be appropriate to methods of inquiry and creativity in the mentor’s discipline.

Program Deadline: TBA for 2012-2013

Applicants must refer to the complete Request for Proposals for specific submission information for undergraduate students and faculty/staff mentors.
