CRA Outstanding Undergraduate Researchers Award

Scholarship Value: $1,500
Awards Available: 4

This award program recognizes undergraduate students in North American colleges and universities who show outstanding potential in an area of computing research.  The award is primarily about recognizing contributions to research. While it is expected that successful nominees will have excellent academic records and will have engaged in some form of service (e.g., club leadership, teaching, peer tutoring), excellence in research is the primary consideration.  

Eligibility

Students enrolled as undergraduates in North American colleges or universities in Fall 2023 are eligible. On the nomination form, the electronic signature of the chair/head of the home department confirms that the nominee is in good standing and eligible for the award.

Number of Nominees Per Department

Departments that grant Ph.D.s in a computing field may nominate up to four students per year. Departments that do not grant Ph.D.s in a computing field may nominate up to two students per year.

Diversity

In addition to recognizing excellence in undergraduate research, CRA is committed to broadening the participation of individuals in traditionally underrepresented groups in computing fields. CRA recognizes that students in different academic environments have different opportunities for research. The selection committee will consider these factors in its evaluation; nominations can describe these factors in nominees’ personal statements or recommenders’ letters.  CRA strongly encourages departments to consider all aspects of diversity when selecting their nominees.

Awards

Up to four CRA Undergraduate Researcher Awards will be made each year. Each award recipient will receive financial assistance of up to $1,500 to attend a research conference of their choice. In addition, some nominees will be designated as runners-up, finalists, and honorable mentions. Award recipients, runners-up, finalists, and honorable mentions will be announced and directly contacted by e-mail in mid-December. These students will receive certificates of their awards via mail, and will be recognized on CRA’s website.
