Students must submit a research project proposal, signed by a faculty advisor. The proposal must include an indication of the research facility where the student will work abroad and the project in which they will participate.

Preference for a student with financial need.

Preference will be given to students who intend to present the results of their research at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research or at a discipline specific conference. This should be specified in the research proposal.

Preference will be given to students majoring in Biology, Chemistry or Physics, but any research proposal that incorporates science can be considered.
