Applications Available for Provost's Undergraduate Research Awards

Johns Hopkins Gazette Online Edition

The 2002 Provost's Undergraduate Research Awards will provide a significant number of grants to current freshmen, sophomores and juniors in the schools of Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Nursing and in the Peabody Conservatory.

The maximum amount of an award is $2,500. Proposals from all disciplines are appreciated and encouraged. Sponsors must be full-time faculty and can be from any division of the university. Research (or Peabody projects) can take place within any division of JHU.

Past awards have funded projects with such diverse titles as "Chinese History in the 20th Century," "The Impact of a Frontier Environment on Literature," "Intravenous Delivery of Chitosan-Mediated Gene Therapy in Vivo" and "Exploring Russian Baroque Music for Woodwinds."

This program was initiated in 1993 by then provost Joseph Cooper as an effort to encourage undergraduates to engage in research activity. According to Cooper's successor, Steven Knapp, "These grants build on what has always been a special strength of our undergraduate programs across the university: the opportunity for students to collaborate, at the highest intellectual level, with faculty investigators at the forefront of their fields."

Applications are available from the office of Theodore Poehler, vice provost for research, at 265 Garland Hall, Homewood, 410-516-8671. Completed applications for summer projects must be submitted by noon on March 8; for fall semester proposals, by April 5.
