Overview:
|
The
Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships (CURF)
provides information, advice, resources, and support for
Penn students seeking to become involved in faculty research,
to initiate research projects of their own, or to fund graduate
study at home or abroad. CURF helps Penn undergraduates
to pursue independent research through personal advising
and administration of competitive research grants.
CURF advisors also assist undergraduates in finding faculty
mentors and funding. To this end, CURF maintains a database
of Penn faculty and researchers interested in having undergraduate
students involved in their research. Recipients of the undergraduate
research funding that CURF administers present their findings
at student-faculty lunches hosted twice weekly. Along with
The College of Arts and Sciences, CURF offers fifteen summer
research internships as part of a summer institute for students
in the humanities and social sciences. The internships provide
undergraduate students with an apprenticeship in a cultural,
historical, or archival setting.
