The Office for Student Research and Creativity is now accepting applications for the Frederick B. Kilmer Student Research Apprenticeships for Summer 2018, for the Fall 2018 semester, and for the Fall 2018-Spring 2019 academic year.

  • Enrollment in INTD 450 Scholar as Citizen (1 cr.) or a CHEM research course for one semester during the award (*newish requirement)
  • Enrollment in a research or independent study course with the faculty mentor of the project during the academic year (if a Chemistry or Biochemistry major, this may be the same CHEM research course as above)
  • Summer award students do not have to be enrolled for course credit to qualify
  • Submission of a progress report each semester
  • Presentation of the results of findings or the culmination of creative/scholarly projects in an academic forum or venue appropriate to the discipline within six months of completion of the project (i.e., campus academic forum, professional conference, academic journal, advertised exhibit or performance, the annual campus Learning & Research Fair, or the annual SUNY Undergraduate Research Conference)
