Buffalo State’s Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship (USRF) program will continue in 2020 with modifications as necessary in response to COVID-19 concerns. USRF supports eight weeks of full-time research, scholarly, and creative activities. USRF applications are welcome from Buffalo State undergraduates in all disciplines with a graduation date of December 2020 or later. Each fellowship provides a student stipend of $3,000, a faculty mentor stipend of $1,000, and $500 for supplies or equipment to support the project.

Student project proposals for USRF 2020 must reflect the president’s announcements on college-funded travel restrictions and density limitations for all activities described in the application, and the provost's directive suspending all in-person human subjects research until further notice. Proposals should include specific plans for achieving project objectives remotely during the funding period, should it become necessary. To learn more about the program and access the online application portal, please visit the USRF program page at the Undergraduate Research website. The extended deadline for student applications is 10:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 15; mandatory faculty mentor approvals are due by 10:00 p.m. Friday, April 17.
