Use of Research Funds: Research funds may be used for supplies, books, software, and equipment. They may also be used to support travel to and from a research site. Funds may not be used for stipends or reimbursement for services. Any equipment purchased with these grant monies will remain the property of Towson University.
Budget requests of up to $500.00 will be considered. However, a higher budget request will be considered in unusual cases for which the need is thoroughly documented.
An important aspect of the professional life of a scientist is the presentation of results in a professional arena. In recognition of this, funds may be sought to attend a professional meeting at which the student will present an oral seminar or a research poster. A separate Travel Grant Application is available to apply for these funds. Travel grant applications have no deadline
Student Obligations and Responsibilities: The complete description of student responsibilities is outlined in the grants acceptance form and will be mailed to successful applicants (a sample, not to be used, in Adobe Acrobat pdf format may be viewed). A final written report that has been reviewed and signed by your faculty research mentor must be submitted to the FCSMUGR Committee. If an acceptable final report is not submitted, all monies must be returned to the University. If monies are not returned, the FCSMUGR Committee will freeze the student's University records.
CUR's Registry of Undergraduate Researchers and Graduate Schools
This Registry is designed to link undergraduate students who have research experience with graduate schools interested in recruiting such students (please see http://www.cur.org/UGRegistryselect.html for general information about the Registry). The registry is free of charge to the student. Interested graduate schools contact CUR and pay to gain access to the student's records. These schools can then contact students whose records they are interested in. 100% of the proceeds go directly into our Summer Fellowships program, supporting CUR members and their students for a summer of (CUR-sponsored) research.
Students are encouraged to register at http://www.cur.org/ugreg/register.asp. Once they register, they will receive an email that provides them with a password and instructions on how to complete their records. It is important they follow through and complete their record after they register.

Towson University's The Jess and Mildred Fisher College of Science and Mathematics students have presented their research both at national meetings and at local celebrations of their award-winning work. A few of the meetings at which TU FCSM student researchers have presented their work are noted below.
The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR)
NCUR® brings together undergraduates involved in scholarly and artistic activities representing a range of disciplines including creative arts, mathematics, business, social science, humanities, physical and life sciences, natural resources, and engineering, among others. Participants come from over 300 colleges and universities representing almost every state in the nation.
Since its inception in 1987, NCUR® has become a major annual event drawing over 2,000 undergraduates, faculty, and administrators to hear and discuss undergraduate creative and scholarly work.
The 23rd National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) will be on April 16–18, 2009, and will be held at the University of Wisconsin, Lacrosse. Submisssion of Abstracts is open from October 3 to December 1, 2008. For more information see their Web site.
For more information about the NCUR, visit the organization's web site at www.ncur.org.
