Undergraduate Humanities Research Awards

Download complete application information.

The Rotberg Awards enable humanities undergraduates to spend a semester assisting a faculty member in completing a major research project. Faculty receive a small research fund and students develop advanced research skills by working closely with an experienced faculty mentor.

Faculty apply for the award, which provides up to $2,000 as a stipend to the undergraduate assistant and $500 to the faculty member for research expenses. This program is made possible by the generosity of Iris and Gene Rotberg.

Application

Applications should be 3-4 pages, written in standard research proposal format. Your proposal should provide:

• A brief overview of your research project
• A specific description of the research activities the student will perform
• An explanation of your plans for training and supervising the student
• Your current C.V.

Faculty applicants need not identify the research assistant in the proposal. We encourage successful applicants to announce their project in an open competition for the most promising student researcher among undergraduates in their department.

All proposals will be confidentially evaluated by an interdisciplinary group of faculty from the Center's Advisory Board and award decisions will be based on the quality of the research proposal.

Please forward all materials electronically to chat@temple.edu by Monday, Nov. 7, 2011. Contact Peter Logan with any questions at peter.logan@temple.edu or 215/204-8567.
