Joining the award for Outstanding Undergraduate Research Mentor in 2004 was a parallel prize to recognize the college’s Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher.  The honorarium for the student award is $200, and these students, too, will be recognized and honored at Student Showcase.  The Robins Winner will have a financial augmentation. Since 2008, the undergraduate research award is known as the David and Terry Peak Undergraduate Research Prize.

Criteria

Any students in CNR engaged in undergraduate research are eligible.  CNR defines undergraduate research in its broadest sense; it is up to students and nominating faculty supervisors to clarify any ambiguity.  
 
Nominations may be made by any faculty member or graduate student in the college. 
Nominations may be brief but should be sufficiently complete to allow the selection committee
to judge the merit of the student’s efforts.   
 
The Undergraduate Scholarship Committee will review all nominations.  
Nominations and any support materials need to be turned in to the Dean’s Office by February 13.
