URSA seeks new faculty members for review panel

September 15, 2017

University Relations

The Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Activity is seeking new members for the URSA application review panel. Faculty members from all UAF campuses are invited to participate.

Each year URSA has eight rounds of applications, which include undergraduate student project and travel awards, mentor awards, and innovative technology and education awards.

Once the proposals for a particular application period have been received, they are distributed randomly to four members of the review panel. The panel consists of faculty from all disciplines in the arts/humanities/social sciences and natural/life and engineering sciences.

Applications are reviewed and scoring is completed online. Panel members can choose what application period(s) they wish to participate in. Reviewers typically receive five to eight applications to review for a given application period.

Training is provided for new members. Please contact URSA at ursa.uaf@alaska.edu or call 907-450-8772 for more information.
