CURL\u2019s Student Research Fellowships support students’ research learning endeavours\u00a0by providing $1500 and 1-on-1 mentorship with a faculty member at Huron. The funding may be used for project resources or to reduce the need for a part-time job while students complete this important work.<\/p>\n
CURL views research as a process, not a product, and we value research that is widely accessible. Your Fellowship could culminate in a research paper, a community event, a proposal for a larger project (such as an app or local organization), or even a comic book!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.27.5″ toggle_font=”|700|||||||” body_font=”||||||||” custom_css_toggle_title=”font-weight: bold;” global_colors_info=”{}” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Fellowship Basics” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n A CURL Student Fellowship is a major independent research project<\/strong> that is proposed and completed by you! These Fellowships are designed to support undergraduate students at Huron in obtaining immersive research experience and developing strong research skills. Here are some preliminary facts you need to know:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Project Terms and Timeline” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n CURL awards its Fellowships twice each year. (Specific due dates will be posted at the top of this page and on our Instagram<\/a>!)<\/p>\n We understand that research can be an imperfect, unpredictable process. Some Fellows fit their projects neatly into the above timeline, while others benefit from a slower approach. That’s okay! Refine and adjust your timeline as needed with support from your faculty mentor, and keep CURL up to date with your progress.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Obtaining a Faculty Mentor” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n CURL Fellowship projects require a Faculty Mentor. This Faculty Mentor submits a separate application for the project at the same time as the student applicant.<\/p>\n As early as possible before applying, you should ask a Huron professor to be your CURL Faculty Mentor. Here are some potential steps to keep in mind:<\/p>\n The student applicant AND the CURL Faculty Mentor must submit separate applications. These applications will have the same due date.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Eligibility” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n All students currently enrolled in a Major or Minor program at Huron University College are eligible. There are no grade or course load requirements. This means part-time students, Western\/Huron dual degree students, and students with various GPAs are welcome to apply.<\/p>\n Research projects from all disciplines will be considered, but priority will be given to interdisciplinary projects and\/or projects that describe innovative methodology or learning outcomes. For examples of possible projects, please see the “Example Project Ideas” section.<\/p>\n Necessary coursework is not eligible for this award, but substantial extension and mobilization of past coursework is. For example, you could not receive a Fellowship to complete an essay assigned to you in class; however, if that essay inspires you to explore the topic further, you could receive a Fellowship to create an expanded research paper, to prepare an early proposal for a Master’s thesis, or to create an online archive on that topic.<\/p>\n CURL typically awards 8 Fellowships per calendar year; however, thanks to a generous donation from CURL Fellow and Huron alumnus Taylor Boyd,\u00a0<\/strong>one extra Fellowship may be awarded yearly in support of a project in the fields of Psychology and\/or Education.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Learning Outcomes” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n At the end of the research period, winners are asked to submit two items:<\/p>\n Please see the Rules and Instructions document below for more information and the reflection template.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Example Project Ideas” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n CURL views research as a process, not a product. We envision our Fellowships as opportunities for immersive learning and growth that serve our students long after they leave Huron and in whichever careers they wish to pursue. We therefore welcome a variety of project ideas, including those which are intended to become proposals or building blocks for larger projects you might develop in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n Your research could culminate in:<\/p>\n If you\u2019re unsure whether your project would be eligible, please send a brief summary to CURL@uwo.ca<\/a>!<\/p>\n

These\u00a0awards support students' independent research endeavours\u00a0by providing $1500 of funding and free mentorship with a CURL faculty associate at Huron. This funding may be used to allow students to access resources that they may otherwise not have been able to afford (e.g: computer programs, printing costs) and to reduce the need for a part-time job while students complete important scholarly research.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Research Fellowship applications require a faculty mentor. If you do not have a faculty mentor, contact us ASAP<\/a> with your project idea and we will find you a match!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n
