This competition is now open for undergraduate students at UIUC that have been accepted for presentation at a conference during the spring, summer, or early fall of 2016. Please note, the Office of Undergraduate Research does not provide funds for conference travel for attendance only; grants are meant for students who will present their work. To apply, students will need to provide conference dates and location, evidence that conference participation has been confirmed, estimated expenses, and possible support from mentors and departments.
Deadline for submitting a proposal is February 22, 2016. Submit your applications to http://go.illinois.edu/ugconftravel. Any questions may be addressed to the OUR office at ugresearch@illinois.edu. For more information on research-related issues go to www.undergradresearch.illinois.edu.
