UBRP Ambassadors
The UBRP Ambassadors aim to strengthen the UBRP community by providing a number of opportunities for students to interact with each other and with others outside the UBRP community. Get involved with the UBRP Ambassadors. Find a list of upcoming events here.
Some field trips have already been planned for the summer. See the list of those field trips here.
UBRP Funding Opportunities
UBRP has the following scholarships available for active students in the program:
UBRP Travel Award
These awards are designed to support current UBRP, ASPET, EHS-TRUE, and NACP students in presenting their research at a scientific conference. A typical travel award amount is $500. Applications must be received at least one month prior to your conference. See this application for more information and the full set of requirements. E-mail the completed application and supplementary documents to Jennifer at cubeta@arizona.edu for review.
Applications for Travel Awards are accepted on a rolling basis; funds are limited, and decisions will be made on a first-come first served basis.
UBRP Galileo Circle Scholarship
These $1,000 scholarships support outstanding UBRP participants who are majors in the College of Science. Information and applications for the UBRP Galileo Circle Scholarship will be e-mailed directly to eligible applicants in the spring semester.
Additional Resources
UBRPers can join the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) for free, as the University of Arizona is considered an institutional member of CUR! Learn more about CUR and the benefits of membership here.
Undergraduate Research Ambassadors can offer guidance for preparing research posters and presentations, and in giving friendly feedback on “Mock Talks,” where students can practice their presentation to a supportive person and receive feedback on what they are doing well and what steps they can take to improve their presentation.
