Hello, BIS. Have you met OSCAR?
The Office of Student Scholarship Creative Activities and Research
(OSCAR) is the home of Students as Scholars
(http://oscar.gmu.edu/students/) and the Undergraduate Research
Scholars Program (URSP) (http://oscar.gmu.edu/students/ursp.cfm).
Several BIS students have been awarded research stipends in recent
semesters, and currently one of our students is "Examining the
effect of infographics on the confirmation bias," for a third funded
project!
In Summer 2012 two BIS students received research stipends, and in
Spring 2012 two BIS students received research stipends. We are
continuing a tradition of scholarly excellence!
The Undergraduate Research Scholars program welcomes proposals
for the summer semester of 2013.
There are two options available for summer.
Traditional ($1500 budgeted award, 144 total hours, flexible
timing)
Intensive ($5000 budgeted award , 9 weeks/360 hours, usually
June 1- August 9)
The deadline for both options is February 22, 2013. Further
details and REVISED application forms can be found here: http://oscar.gmu.edu/students/ursp.cfm
...And to help you with that process, they are also offering
Proposal Writing Workshops:
Proposal Writing Workshops
Wonder how to write a successful proposal for URSP? Come to one
of these workshops to learn the details.
-
Workshop 1: February 8, 2013, 1-2pm, University Hall 3300
-
Workshop 2: March 20, 2013, 10-11am, University Hall 3300

This program runs every semester (Fall, Spring, Summer) offering
students stipends from $1500 to $5000. It is well worth your time
to attend the session if you can answer yes to the following...
"Want
$5000 to answer an unanswered question?"
BIS can help you with this process. Let me know if you need
additional assistance, have questions, or are just considering the
possibility of proposing a project to the URSP.
Good luck,
Lenore
