If you are currently working with a College of Science and Health faculty member on a research project, or perhaps you are interested in joining a research group in the college, talk to your research mentor about the possibility of submitting an Undergraduate Research Assistantship Program (URAP) application. This program has been created to support DePaul faculty in their pursuit of research and the creation of knowledge with a dual purpose:
- To provide valuable learning opportunities and financial support for undergraduates to assist and collaborate with faculty members who conduct research projects and are engaged in scientific activities, and,
- To offer support to faculty engaged in the above activities consistent with the university's commitment to the pursuit of scientific knowledge.
All applications for Winter/Spring funding must be received by October 15 of the preceding year. Applications for Summer/Autumn funding must be received by May 9. Funding is for up to 75 hours per quarter ($1,215). The committee will begin reviewing applications after the posted deadline. Applicants will be notified of the committee's decision approximately one month following the posted grant deadline.
To submit an application, please complete the following steps:
- Download and read the application instructions.
- Fill out and submit the online student application.
- Ask your research mentor to complete and submit the online faculty application.
- At the end of the quarter, you will have to fill out the URAP student evaluation online. Your faculty mentor will likewise have to complete an online URAP faculty evaluation.
