The Mark A. Berkley Undergraduate Research Endowment

Berkley, a former FSU psychology professor who mentored many undergraduates that went on to become scientists, physicians, and veterinarians, our department has established the Mark A. Berkley Undergraduate Research Endowment. Students now have the opportunity to apply for funding each year. It is expected that the average award will be for $200 to $300, although applications for up to $500 will be considered. Importantly, the deadline for proposals for this year is Friday March 25 at 4:00 PM. The awards will be announced at this year's Undergraduate Research Day, which should be an added incentive for you and your fellow lab members to attend! Detailed instructions for Mark Berkley applications are posted on the Undergraduate page of our website. If you are considering applying for these funds, discuss this with your research supervisor as soon as possible.
