Undergraduate Research Guidelines
Faculty and Staff: In conjunction with Human Resources and Finance, CURAS has developed guidelines for paying student researchers. These guidelines help Creighton stay within the legal limits of the Affordable Care Act as well as the Department of Labor's student employment laws.
If you have questions, please contact CURAS Research Program Planner, Meghan Freeman, at meghanfreeman@creighton.edu.
The Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship (CURAS) supports faculty by:
The CURAS Faculty Research Fund, established by Edward O?Connor, Ph.D., provost, to support and enhance the research and scholarly work of full-time faculty with undergraduate research students at Creighton University.
There are three types of opportunities for research/scholarly proposals with undergraduates that will be considered for support:
Eligibility
Full-Time Faculty holding a tenured or tenure-track position as a Teaching-Research faculty member. Faculty holding non-tenure track positions such as Resident, Research, Adjunct, Special, Visiting, Affiliate or Contributed-Service Faculty are not eligible.
Amount of award
See below for last year's Proposal Guidelines and Cover Sheet. Materials for the 2020 cycle will be posted in Spring Semester 2020.
CURAS is pleased to announce the recipients of 2019 Faculty Research Funds.
The Summer Faculty Research Fellowship Award fosters scholarship among the full-time tenure-track faculties of the College of Arts and Sciences, Heider College of Business, and the School of Law. The award is intended to relieve a faculty member from his/her summer teaching and other obligations in order to conduct research and pursue scholarly goals during the summer months.
Fellowships will be offered only to full-time, tenure-track faculty holding a terminal degree in their field. Traditionally, the award includes a stipend for the faculty member plus some funding for direct costs.
CURAS is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2019 Summer Faculty Research Fellowship.
CURAS is now accepting proposals for the 2020 Summer Faculty Research Fellowship Program. Proposals are due November 9, 2019 at 4:00 pm.
