Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I make travel arrangements?

Award recipients will make their own travel arrangements unless they are traveling with a UWF faculty or staff member.  If you are traveling with a UWF faculty or staff member, please talk to that person about how your travel arrangements are being made. 

What is required of me after I participate in the conference?

Students who receive an award must submit an electronic Final Travel Report to the Office of Undergraduate Research within ten (10) business days following completion of the conference and/or travel. To access this report, please log onto MyUWF and search for OUR Program Applications. Select your OUR Travel Award application and the Student Post Travel Report will appear as a new section of that application.

Student awardees must acknowledge the OUR Travel Award on the poster or in the presentation slides as “Conference attendance is supported by the UWF Office of Undergraduate Research through an OUR Travel Award.” 

Student awardees are required to present their research at the UWF Student Scholars Symposium during the spring semester. Awardees can find guidelines and information regarding this presentation on OUR’s website. 

Grant awardees are also required to act as ambassadors to the OUR program and speak to at least one approved campus event (e.g., classrooms and tour guides) about your research experience at UWF.
