The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) is sponsoring 2007 “Posters on the Hill” on April 25, 2007 in Washington D.C. “Posters on the Hill” is a program for undergraduate researchers and their faculty advisors. Research teams from across the nation gather in Washington D.C. to share presentations with Congress. The poster session is a way to communicate our thanks for federal support for undergraduate research, and to share the knowledge that has been learned with our nation’s elected officials. In addition to congressional visits, CUR is planning to offer special optional behind the scenes tours of Washington D.C. facilities. CUR provides modest funding ($150 each for advisor and student). The college will help with travel costs if you are awarded a spot in this session. Students can attend on their own, but faculty advisors are encouraged to attend also.
Proposals must be submitted online by November 10, 2006- no exceptions. Hard copies of faculty recommendation letters must reach D.C. by Nov. 31, 2006. To participate in this exiting and competitive program, please submit the application form found at http://www.cur.org/pohab.asp.
