What should my Research Assistant proposal look like?
What should my Summer Project proposal look like?
提案叙述应该提供项目目标和具体目的的大纲, what resources contributed to the project, research design and methods, and projected outcomes. 审稿人通常不熟悉主题, so we encourage students to use lay terms.
如果我是一个研究小组的成员，我们可以提交一个小组提案吗?

皇冠体育的教师导师和他们的学生可以决定他们的项目需要多少接触时间.

What happens if I am awarded a SURP?
如果学生和他们的导师获得了SURP，他们将被通知. 学生有一个星期的时间接受或拒绝他们的SURP奖励. 被拒绝的奖学金将提供给候补名单上的学生.
What happens if I am placed on the waitlist?
研究委员会将与您联系，以确定您是否愿意留在候补名单上或拒绝. 当获奖学生拒绝他们的SURP时，可以获得额外的SURP资金. When this happens, 研究委员会将重新调整这些资金与候补名单上的下一个合格候选人. 学生应该预计在候补名单上停留大约两周. After this period, 您将收到通知，如果一个奖项已经可用，或者如果您的项目在这个奖项周期中被拒绝.
我们的许多捐赠基金都有限制，限制了它们的用途, 因此，委员会必须审查候选名单上的候选人，不仅要看他们的能力, but also that they meet the requirements of the available funds. For this reason, 候补名单是没有顺序的，候补名单上的学生不能得到任何估计，他们的项目有多大可能得到资助.
高年级学生是否有资格在毕业后的暑假获得SURP资助?
SURP只适用于下一个秋季学期入学的学生. 学生在毕业后的夏季没有资格获得SURP资助. However, 感兴趣的高年级学生可以检查是否可以在部门或特定教员(例如, if they have a student wage line on an external grant.)

I was awarded a 6 week SURP but was unable to finish my research, can I extend my SURP an additional 2 weeks?
SURP的资金从一开始就根据拟议项目的可行性决定. 虽然我们鼓励你完成你的项目，但我们不会提供额外的资金. 对于已成为较长项目或已成为高级练习的项目，仍需要在夏季经验研讨会上提交最后报告.
