The Magis! Investigatio Research Award (MIRA) has been established by the Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship (CURAS) to support and enhance the research and scholarly work of full-time faculty with undergraduate research students at Creighton University.
1Undergraduate research assistants are to be paid hourly, in compliance with University policy. If a faculty member wishes to hire a student who has already graduated, the faculty member will be responsible for covering that student’s fringe benefits. Students who are current CURAS Summer Undergraduate Research Fellows may NOT also be hired as research assistants during the same summer.
2Open access publication charge requests will only be considered if the faculty member does not have access to alternative funding for publication charges.
Funds cannot be used for faculty salary/stipends or to support conference travel.
Full-time faculty holding a Teaching-Research, Clinical-Educator, or Resident Faculty appointment (Research, Adjunct, Special, Visiting, Affiliate or Contributed-Service Faculty are not eligible).
Up to $5,00
