Resources to Support Research

Fellowship, Grant and Research Resources abound at Stanford. We encourage students to consider making their research projects as true to life as possible. Many campus organizations have developed specific aids for students seeking fellowships and grants in their areas of interest. Bringing together information on research grants, internships, opportunities, and awards, The Undergraduate Research Programs Office (URP) in Sweet Hall is the campus nexus for students interested in becoming personally involved in the exciting quest of a research project. The URP website is at http://www.stanford.edu./dept/undergrad/urp. Students might also directly visit Haas Center for Public Service or their website, http://haas.stanford.edu/; and the Overseas Resource Center at http://www.stanford.edu/dept/icenter/orc/.

PWR asks that all instructors include this student resource on PWR syllabi.
