WebGURU: Web Guide To Research For Undergraduates

Welcome to the Web Guide to Research for Undergraduates!

The purpose of this website is to provide undergraduates interested in and/or currently participating in undergraduate research experiences in science, technology, engineering, an/or mathematics with ready information and links to reliable electronic resources on all aspects of the undergraduate research experience.

The Web Guide to Research for Undergraduates (WebGURU) is an interactive web-based tool intended to assist undergraduates navigate the hurdles of an undergraduate research experience. Resources available on this website include:

• Information on all the technical aspects of undergraduate research including lab safety, record keeping, experimental design, data analysis, technical writing, oral presentations, intellectual property, etc.
• A discussion board where you can discuss anything about undergraduate research with other undergraduate students; (in development)
• Links to (in development) undergraduate research programs and program information;
• Scholarships and fellowships in support of undergraduate research experiences;
  and meeting opportunities for undergraduate scientists and engineers

WebGURU was officially released to the general public on October 15, 2005. We want this website to be a valuable student-centered resource that helps undergraduates maximize their learning and success in undergraduate research.
