The Office of Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry Call for Applications Travel Grants for Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry The mission of the OURCI is to promote, facilitate, fund, recognize, and measure undergraduate research and creative inquiry at Kansas State University in accordance with the strategic vision articulated in K-State 2025. What is Research and Creative Inquiry? Research and/or creative inquiry is broadly defined to include any faculty-mentored scholarly or creative project or undertaking, whether disciplinary or interdisciplinary, pure or applied, theoretical or practical. Who is eligible to apply? Eligibility is extended to all Kansas State University undergraduate students in good academic standing. Awardees may apply for additional funding and may use funding to amplify awards from other sources. First-time and previously unfunded applicants, however, are given priority consideration. Manhattan, Salina, and K-State’s Global Campus students may apply. What is the amount of the grant? Awards are for a maximum of $1000 per semester. What is expected? It is required that a K-State faculty research mentor is overseeing the project. Awardees will have an opportunity to network with other researchers. Awardees will have opportunity to make contributions to their field. Awardees will have opportunities to present, perform, or exhibit their work publically. Awardees will turn in budget, receipts, and all paperwork to be funded. Grant recipients are required to publically disseminate their project in an appropriate scholarly venue, and are required to submit a final abstract of their project to the Office of Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry. Awardees are expected to strive to fulfill these obligations in good faith and to represent K-State in an appropriate manner. Failure to do so may result in sanctions (e.g., refunding the grant).
