Research in the Classroom: Idea Grant

Logo

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research is offering grants that will be awarded on a competitive basis to fund innovative ideas for incorporating authentic research projects into the undergraduate curriculum. Successful projects will be implemented into new or existing courses and must incorporate a researchable aim. For the purposes of this competition, authentic research is defined as a plan for seeking answers to a research question for which the outcome is unknown. The research question should be based on the expertise of the PI, and should involve the development of new avenues of inquiry.

For additional information, guidelines, and contact information, see the Research in the Classroom: Idea Grant page.

Welcome to Undergraduate Research!

Participating in mentored research is one of the unique opportunities for college students. City Tech’s faculty are actively engaged inĀ research inĀ such fields as astronomy, biology, chemistry, communication, health sciences, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, physics, psychology, robotics,Ā sociology,Ā andĀ theater. Most people learn about these fields only through books, television and museums, long after research has been completed. Students who participate in undergraduate research get to take part in creating knowledge!
