Call for URSA review panel members

The Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Activity is seeking members for the 2024-2025 URSA application review panel. First review opportunities start September 11. Faculty members, postdoctoral fellows and research staff from all ²ÝÁñÉçÇø campuses and disciplines are invited to participate.

This year URSA has eight rounds of applications requiring panel review, including Undergraduate Student Project Awards (spring, summer, fall); Mentor Awards (spring, summer and AY25-26); Student Belonging and Community; and Community-Engaged Learning Awards.

Once the proposals for a particular award cycle have been received, the applications are distributed randomly to four members of the review panel. The panel consists of reviewers from all disciplines in the arts/humanities/social sciences and natural/life and engineering sciences.

Applications are reviewed within a listed two-week period and scoring is completed via an online form. Reviewers typically receive four to eight applications to review for a given application period.

Panel members can choose the application period(s) they wish to participate in . URSA will confirm availability two to three weeks before each review period starts.

Each year, review panel members are listed on the URSA "²ÝÁñÉçÇø Us" page. Thank you for your service!

Please contact URSA at or call 907-450-8772 for more information.
