We recognize that undergraduate research promotes both student involvement and high academic expectations. Faculty supervision and collaboration result in significant undergraduate research each year. More than 100 present their research and creative work during Quest in spring. See our Research News section for examples of scholarly and creative activities on campus.

Support for Undergraduate Research
Several campus grants and awards encourage undergraduate research efforts. The Scholarly and Creative Activities Committee oversees these awards as well as showcases like Quest.

Scholarly and Creative Activities Awards
These awards support and foster graduate and undergraduate student scholarly and creative activity done in collaboration with a SUNY Oswego faculty or staff sponsor.

Challenge Awards
The Student/Faculty Collaborative Challenge Awards aim to promote and support true student/faculty scholarly collaboration. It is the goal of the program to assist faculty in providing motivated undergraduate students with graduate-level scholarly and creative experiences.

Daly Grant and Award
Named for a former Oswego faculty professor, the Helen Bohmer Daly Memorial Research Grant supports and fosters basic behavioral research by faculty, staff and students working in collaboration with a faculty sponsor. The Helen Bohmer Daly Quest Award recognizes an undergraduate student presenting original research at Quest whose research involves the use of the scientific method.
