SOURCE Opens New Round of Applications for Undergraduate Research Fellowships

Thursday, January 26, 2023, By Diane Stirling

Research and CreativeSOURCE

Undergraduate students seeking funding to work with faculty mentors on research and creative projects can apply for those opportunities in February and March.

Students interested in funding for summer 2023 and/or academic year 2023-24 should submit an Intent to Apply form by Thursday, Feb. 16. A fully completed application is also due by Thursday, March 2. Applications can be submitted through the online submission link. More details about the opportunity are available on the Syracuse Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Engagement (SOURCE) program webpage. A list of recipients from the fall ’22 application cycle can be found here.

Application Components

Application components include a project proposal, budget, resume, transcript and recommendation from the desired faculty mentor. The SOURCE assists students in developing competitive application materials with workshops and drop-in hours to give feedback on draft materials. Students who are interested in applying should contact SOURCE for assistance and more information.

The grants are administered by the University’s Office of Research through SOURCE using Invest Syracuse funds. Those fellowships and additional Renée Crown University Honors Program Awards support student-designed and faculty-mentored independent research and creative projects with funding of up to $7,500. In fall 2022, 60 students were awarded SOURCE Fellowships (including six SOURCE-LSAMP Fellowships, funded by the LSAMP Program) and 18 students were awarded Honors Program Crown Awards.

SOURCE Fellowships have been awarded since spring 2019, with over 700 students funded for their research and creative activity in all disciplines.

New Sciences/Professional Award

The spring application cycle will also award the interdisciplinary Patricia A. Wood, M.D., Ph.D., Spinoza Award, funding that is intended for students who want to explore philosophical aspects of issues that arise within the sciences or other professional disciplines.
