URSA faculty review panel
The Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Activity is seeking members for the 2023-2024 URSA application review panel (first review opportunities start Sept. 13, 2023). Faculty members from all UAF campuses and disciplines are invited to participate.
This year URSA has seven rounds of applications requiring panel review, which include Undergraduate Student Project Awards, Mentor Awards, Climate Change Project Awards, Student Belonging and Community, and Community-Engaged Learning Awards. Once the proposals for a particular application period have been received, the applications are distributed randomly to four members of the review panel. The panel consists of faculty from all disciplines in the arts/humanities/social sciences and natural/life and engineering sciences. Applications are reviewed within a listed two-week period (dates listed are subject to change per processing times) 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 what application period(s) they wish to participate in using this form. Each year, review panel members are updated on the URSA "About Us" page.
