Undergraduate Research Committee

Arts & Sciences Undergraduate Research Committee

The Undergraduate Research Committee supports the Charles Center by evaluating student research proposals that are submitted to the Charles Center for funding, including Monroe Scholars and summer research grants. Typically, each research proposal is read by multiple committee members, and each committee member reads awards within and outside their areas of specialization. The committee is chaired by a faculty member who receives proposals from the Undergraduate Research Program Administrator. The committee is encouraged to advise the Charles Center administrators on best practices for proposal review and other relevant procedures. Committee appointments are made by the Director of the Charles Center in consultation with the Chair of the Undergraduate Research Committee and the A&S Dean’s office.
