========================================================================
*FULL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM CUR*:
*Nothing more effectively demonstrates the value of undergraduate research
than the words and stories of the student participants themselves. In the
Spring of 2011 the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) will host its
15th annual undergraduate poster session on Capitol Hill. This event will
help members of Congress understand the importance of undergraduate research
by talking directly with the students whom these programs impact.

CUR is calling for students of member institutions to submit an abstract of
their research that represents any of CUR's disciplinary divisions (Arts and
Humanities, Biology, Chemistry, Geosciences, Health Sciences,
Mathematics/Computer Science, Physics/Astronomy, Psychology, and Social
Sciences). In order to ensure proper review of applications, the above are
the only disciplines that may apply.  Should your research be
inter-disciplinary, please select the division that most closely describes
your research.

Abstract submissions will only be accepted by using our on-line submission
form.  Prior to submitting the form, students should gather the contact
information for all co-authors, advisors and sponsors (if applicable),
prepare a short vitae/resume, and poster abstract.  A document listing the
information required for submission can be found by visiting:
http://www.cur.org/pdf/poh%20application%20information.pdf    [the pdf is
attached to this email]

For more information, and the link to submit an application, please visit:
http://www.cur.org/pohcall.html
Please note that CUR membership is required to submit an application
 [Clemson University is a CUR member].  Either the student’s home
institution must have an institutional membership, or the faculty mentor or
student must have an individual membership.

We will not review incomplete applications. Please be sure that both
portions (the electronic application and the electronic recommendation
letter) are submitted by November 15, 2010.

Please encourage your students to submit. This is a highly competitive
program, which makes for a very exciting experience for the students and
their faculty advisors alike.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
