National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR)
April 12-14, 2027, Grand Rapids, Michigan
The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) promotes undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity through an annual conference for undergraduate students. NCUR is unique because it offers students from all disciplines and institutions of higher education the chance to showcase their work on a national stage.
The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) might have funding to assist accepted students (one per research presentation) which may include registration, transportation via VT van or mileage reimbursement, and/or accommodation.
When registering for the conference, the student must list VT Office of Undergraduate Research (email: Keri Swaby, kswaby@vt.edu) as their institutional representation on their NCUR application form. The student must also inform the OUR when they submit their application, providing the presenter’s name, major, presentation title, and abstract. Students who list OUR representation on their application will be contacted upon selection to present. More information will follow via email.
The students are responsible for the expenses of accommodations and transportation (OUR is allowed to reimburse) and food (OUR is not allowed to reimburse). To be eligible for reimbursement, please complete the application.
NOTE: VT will only support one student per presentation. The students also must provide an itemized receipts (listing all charges, including taxes) in the student’s name to complete reimbursement.
