NCUR 2025 Conference

NCUR 2025 will occur April 7-9, 2025, at the  David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA.

OUR anticipates funding to support up to ten UWF undergraduate students presenting research at the National Conference for Undergraduate Research (NCUR). To attend NCUR 2025, UWF students must apply and have their abstract accepted by NCUR and must apply and have their application accepted by OUR. For details, please visit the NCUR 2025 platform.

OUR cannot guarantee to fund all UWF students accepted to NCUR 2025.

Students who receive an NCUR Travel Award are NOT eligible for another OUR Travel Award this academic year. If you already received an OUR Travel Award or plan to apply for one for the 2024-25 academic year, you are not eligible to apply for an NCUR 2025 Travel Award.

Priority will be given to current undergraduate students with no previous conference experience. OUR also plans to have representation from various campus departments.
