2023-2024 Academic Year URG Final Reports must be submitted by Sunday, May 5, 2024.

Summer URG 2024 Final Reports must be submitted by Monday, September 2, 2024.

To close out your grant, you will need to answer five questions within the SOAP system.  There will be separate boxes for each answer.  Each answer should be between 250-500 words.

  1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Please briefly describe your project.
  2. PROJECT PROGRESS: If your actual project differed from what you initially proposed, please describe how.
  3. PROJECT RESULTS: Please describe any key findings/results and what you expect to happen next with your project.
  4. ACADEMIC/ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT: Please describe any skills or experiences gained that you feel have been important in your academic or artistic development.
  5. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: Please describe any personal growth that you have experienced during the grant period.

Your faculty sponsor will have to review and offer an endorsement of your final report responses to officially close out the grant.  Once you submit your responses through our online system, your faculty will get an automatic email notifying them along with their deadline (which is one week after yours).  Please note that your faculty may also request an additional final report more particular to your field; however, that request will be separate from this one and should be submitted to them (not OUR).  All URG students are required to respond to the five areas above.

Remember that your grant is not completed until this report is submitted and endorsed.  Failure to comply with terms of your grant may result in having to return the money.  Please submit your answers via the SOAP SYSTEM.

In addition, for Summer URGs, you will need to include the dates of the 8 weeks that you worked on the grant (full time with no other commitments, as indicated grant acceptance that you signed).  Summer URG students also are automatically enrolled in a 0-credit fall quarter GEN_LA course.  As long as you submit your final report and it gets endorsed, you will receive an “S” grade (satisfactory).  If you fail to submit your report or your faculty refuse to endorse it, you will receive a “U” grade (unsatisfactory).

If you have any questions, contact the Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research.
