The Undergraduate Research Academy encourages students to expand their education beyond the classroom through participation in research and creative projects mentored by UCCS faculty. The Academy objective is to support collaborative efforts between the student and faculty member, where both members benefit from the experience. Academy students act as research assistants on meaningful projects identified by their faculty mentor. The faculty member is responsible for providing significant and meaningful guidance and mentorship.

Awards cover budget requests for student pay, project related supplies, travel, and a faculty honorarium. This call is meant to support summer research conducted between June-August 2023. Although the dates of the research internship are flexible, students are expected to dedicate ~200 hours towards research over the summer. Students must attend the Welcome Meeting in May and all summer workshops including Responsible Conduct of Research training held during in June and July.
