The UNT Chemistry Department has a strong tradition of undergraduate research and is proud to host this distinguished group of 2023-2024 URF awardees.

Background on the URF:

In 2016, the Offices of the President, Provost, Vice President for Finance and Administration, and Vice President for Research and Innovation--in collaboration with the Dean of TAMS and the Honors College--announced an initiative to enhance academic excellence via the expansion of mentor-based undergraduate research across all disciplines and their curricula. They collectively pledged resources for up to 250 Undergraduate Research Fellowships, each funded at $500. Those fellowships, since renewed on a yearly basis, reward students who enter--and show promise of significantly contributing to--faculty-led research environments.
