The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) supports undergraduate research on The University of North Carolina at Greensboro campus in a variety of ways including: undergraduate research assistantships, an annual undergraduate research assistant poster show, and undergraduate research assistant travel awards. OUR is involved in state and national initiatives that promote undergraduate research.
Research means asking an original question and then, using the tools of an academic discipline, answering the question. Research can be, and is conducted in all academic disciplines. Research can be done in a variety of places such as: an art studio, the library, a field site and/or laboratory.
Please take a few minutes to explore our site, read about the work UNCG students have been doing, and let us know if you have any questions!

Congratulations to Jessica MacNair on being selected as a recipient for the first George T. Barthalmus Undergraduate Research Grant! Jessica will represent UNCG at the 2012 State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium (SNCURCS) in November 2012 at Duke University.
Dr. George T. Barthalmus (1942-2011) was the driving force behind the creation of the State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium. He had a passion for encouraging undergraduates to pursue their interests through the process of research, be it in the sciences, humanities, or through artistic expression. He was an advocate for early involvement of students in the research process as a way to engage and retain students in academics.
To this end, the George Barthalmus Undergraduate Research Awards have been developed to promote early involvement in the research process through support of sophomores in a research project of their design. These awards are designed to assist students with development and engagement in undergraduate research. Students from all disciplines were invited to apply for the awards.
