Applications Due April 3, 2025 for Emerging Research Fellows Program

Are you a first-year student at Syracuse who is interested in conducting mentor-guided research in your discipline? Then consider applying for the CFSA-SOURCE Emerging Research Fellows Program!

This program, offered by Syracuse University’s Center for Fellowship and Scholarship Advising (CFSA) and the Syracuse Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Engagement (SOURCE), supports student discovery, innovation, and success. Emerging Research Fellows, guided by a Faculty Mentor, engage in two years of individual and small group mentoring in early research and creative inquiry development in their 2nd and 3rd year. ERF participants have access to up to $7,000 in funding towards research expenses upon submission of approved budgets during the two years of the program. Faculty Mentors are eligible for a two-time grant of $750 in research funds. The program is open to all students in all disciplines.

The program is committed to diversity and inclusion, enhancing the climate of research, and fostering creativity and scholarship for all our undergraduates.

The first semester of the program (Fall 2025) requires Emerging Research Fellows to take a required one-credit course, which will give an in-depth overview of the research process. The tentative date and time for this course is Fridays from 2:15pm-3:35pm

Previous Emerging Research Fellows have engaged in many exciting research projects across disciplines, including cinematography, physics, political science, computer science, education, and more!
