USOAR 2013

USOAR is a program that funds student-generated research projects, whether the study is conducted on campus, somewhere else in the United States or overseas.

How does USOAR work?

Share your idea for a research or artistry project with a faculty member. Once the faculty member has approved your idea, complete a proposal and submit it to ugresearch@niu.edu.  Please be sure to include your faculty mentor's statement of support with your application.  

More Program Details

Students whose proposals are selected are granted up to $2,500 to carry out their project.  Students have between January 1 and December 31 to complete their USOAR project.  Students must submit documentation (final report, receipts, pictures) to the Office of Student Engagement and Experiential Learning within 6 weeks of completion of their project.

The deadline to submit a USOAR proposal for 2013 has now passed.  Please check back in the coming months for dates and deadlines for 2014!
