Undergraduate students must be enrolled in independent research in Biological Sciences (MUST BE A BIO SCI 199)
and have completed a minimum of three quarters of research on the same project by the end of Spring Quarter,
2008, with at least one quarter taken during the 2007-2008 academic year. Students must also be enrolled at UCI
through Spring quarter and graduate no earlier than Spring of the year they are participating. Students must be
in good academic standing with an official, cumulative UCI GPA of 3.0 or better by Fall quarter 2007. Students
who have earned Excellence in Research previously are eligible again, provided that all the requirements are
met and the research project is different. Papers, talks, and posters must be done individually. They may not
be co-authored. If there is any question regarding your eligibility, you are urged to contact Susan Schafer in
the Biological Sciences Student Affairs Office (824-5318) prior to attending workshops. Eligibility requirements
are strictly adhered to.
To be considered for Excellence in Research in the Biological Sciences, eligible students must:
attend mandatory workshops.
submit appropriate forms.
complete a paper.
present a scientific talk.
present a research poster.
Based on the students' work, "Excellence" is then determined and awarded by the Honors Committee. Students awarded with "Excellence" will have their paper published in the Journal of Undergraduate Research in the Biological Sciences, Volume 38.
