The Undergraduate Research Fellows Program
(URFP) is directed through the Office of the Vice Provost for
Undergraduate Education and administered by the Undergraduate
Research Center for the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences
in A334 Murphy Hall. URFP recipients (Fellows) typically
receive a fellowship of $500-$1,000 per quarter/term to
participate in the Student Research Program (Course 99).
Students who seek a beginning research or creative experience
and who have an interest in graduate school are especially
encouraged to apply.
URFP awards are made to continuing
students with demonstrated financial need. Enrollment in Course
99 for 2 units each award quarter/term is required. Enrollment
in the Student Research Forum HC 101A during Winter quarter is
also required for those Fellows who have not yet taken the
course, and who are funded during Winter quarter. Fellows
funded in Winter or Spring quarters must also must present
their research at the Westwind/Aleph Conference here at UCLA in
May. All Fellows may be required to attend additional
courses, meetings and/or events organized by the URC, depending
on the specific award quarter or term.
The URFP application is available online

The UCLA/Mellon Program on the Holocaust
in American and World Culture, housed in the UCLA Center for
Jewish Studies, invites nominations and applications for
research support from undergraduate students.
This support is made possible by the
Distinguished Achievement Award from the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation given to Eric J. Sundquist, UCLA Foundation
Professor of Literature in the Department of English. The
award, for a three-year period (the academic years 2007-8
through 2009-10), is designed to support research, teaching,
conferences, and related institutional activities involving
faculty and students from a number of different disciplines.
Areas of study embraced by the program are deliberately
broad, including:
Comparative literary and cultural
approaches to the Holocaust
The evolution of knowledge of, and
disciplinary approaches to, the Holocaust
The near destruction and revival of
Yiddish language, literature, and historiography
The “universalization”
of the Holocaust and its relation to other instances of
genocide
Students who are able to define a research
topic that fits within these broad guidelines are encouraged to
apply for support during the summer of 2008. Click
here for more information and an application.
