To help UT undergraduates develop these research communication skills, the Office of Undergraduate Research hosts two spring research events. First is the annual Texas Student Research Showdown video competition. This year, we’ll be selecting recipients for $1500 and $500 awards in two categories (arts, humanities, and social sciences; science, technology, and engineering), as well as an audience choice winner selected by UT students to receive $1000.

Later in the semester, our long-running Longhorn Research Poster Session will take place this year on Wednesday, April 9 in the Perry-Castañeda Library. A more traditional venue for presenting research, this event will prepare you to present your work in academic settings, while also competing for awards.

Finally, if you are already hard at work on an independent research project, apply for an Undergraduate Research Fellowship. Submissions are now open for spring URFs, which provide up to $1,000 to cover approved research-related expenses. We also have an exciting new funding opportunity for Tyler Fellows to travel internationally to conduct independent research.

The Searcher is a new academic journal sponsored by the Department of English that provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to publish scholarly work in the humanities. Any and all research is welcome, but we especially encourage English literary research.
