Professor John Daly has initiated the Helen Bohmer Daly Quest Award for Undergraduate Student Scientific Research. The award, which will be announced at Quest, will include a $1,000 stipend.

The award is to be given to an undergraduate student who is presenting his or her original research at Quest, and whose research involves the use of the scientific method. Eligible research might include controlled laboratory studies, data collection, mathematical modeling, demographic research, or other quantitative research involving controlled experimental methods. As a rule, students presenting qualitative or critical research are not eligible.

Deadline: Annually on the 1st Wednesday in April at 4:30 P.M.

Funds: One award of $1,000

Eligibility: Eligibility will be determined each year by a sub committee of the Scholarly and Creative Activities Committee on the basis of abstracts that have been submitted for Quest 2006. Eligible students will be contacted. For a student to be considered for the award, the following application procedure should be followed:

1.   The student's faculty sponsor for Quest must submit a brief letter nominating the student.

2.   The student must submit a paper summarizing the research. The paper may be the one from which the Quest presentation is derived. In any event, it must include an abstract of less than one page; a review of relevant literature; a summary of the student's research, including the research question he or she is investigating; a report of the method; a report of the results; and a summary of conclusions.

 Application materials are to be sent to the following address:
