The Robert W. Woodruff Library invites undergraduates to submit a research project for consideration for the 2013 Undergraduate Research Awards!

The Undergraduate Research Award recognizes and rewards Emory College undergraduate students who make extensive use of Woodruff Library’s collections and research resources in their original scholarship while simultaneously showing evidence of critical analysis in their research skills. There will be up to three awards of $500 made this year, and at least one will be made to a first-year student.

To be eligible, research projects must have been completed since March 1, 2012. So many projects from Spring 2012 and all of those from Fall 2012 can be included. Projects in all media are encouraged.

In addition to the final version of the research project, students will submit a short (500-750 word) essay describing their research strategies, an abstract of the project, and a bibliography of sources used. Finally, there must be a letter of support from the faculty member who supervised the project.

The due date for all of these materials is 5pm on Wednesday, March 6, 2013. But don't let that let you procrastinate on the process.
