End of Program - Final Product

Upon completion of the project, the recipient of a research scholarship must submit a final product. This product can vary, depending on the field and your project, but for most students, this ends up being a paper -- most often a summary report of what you accomplished during the summer. It is highly recommended that you talk to your research mentor(s) to decide what kind of final product you will submit. Once this is agreed upon by you and your mentor, please notify the program coordinator if it will be something other than a final paper. 

Note: the final product to be submitted is separate from your requirement to present at SRC. 

Directions for online submission will be emailed to the student in August. If there are any problems with submission, please e-mail Dr. Sophia Tsai Neri (stsai@ucsd.edu) with any questions you may have. Please note these reports may be shared with your donor(s), upon request.  

  • If your project may have a different type of submission that makes sense for what you're working on (this is especially for projects in the Arts, but may also be applicable for those in other fields), contact Dr. Sophia Tsai Neri (stsai@ucsd.edu) and your mentor early so an agreed upon project deliverable can be submitted. 

The final product is due up to a week after the end of the program (the first Friday in September).

  • If it is a final paper, it should include:
    • 5 page (minimum), single-spaced report on the research done this summer (late June through late August)
      • Your name, PID, the name of the scholarship donor (e.g. Chancellor's Research for Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences; Eureka!; Ledell Family) in the header section of Word
      • Title of the project
      • A summary of your research over the summer including any results, and how things may have changed since the last proposal/research description submitted. This should be similar to a peer-reviewed research paper written in your field. Check with your mentor if you're unsure of how this should look.
    • Figures and graphs may be included in the 5-page minimum.
    • Citations are not included as part of the 5-page minimum.
    • Abstracts can be the same/similar to what was used for the Summer Research Conference at UC San Diego
    • Format typically follows the format of an academic paper/journal article within your field. 
    • Font: 10-12 point font. Can be Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri, or a similar sized font.
  • Will be submitted via Qualtrics form (link to be sent in an email to the student)
  • Must be read and approved by the student's faculty advisor/PI and lab mentor (if applicable) before final submission
  • Due no later than the second Friday in September (unless otherwise arranged with the program coordinator and your research mentor(s)).

Note: Failure to submit a final product will result in billing the recipient for all funds received. Failure to repay the scholarship will result in future registration and transcript holds.

 

End of Program - Scholarship Program Summary (SPS)

  • A brief statement of the purpose of the project, the benefits to the project and/or the benefits of your participation in the project. 
  • A short summary statement of how the funds were used (exact amounts and receipts are not required)
  • A statement that indicates the approximate hours spent doing research per week (average). Also, please state the total hours you've spent on research this summer.
  • Remember that the minimum expected is 360 hours of research for the 10 week period. 
  • This is likely just 1 paragraph and no longer than 1 page.
  • This is a separate document from the Final Report Will be submitted via Qualtrics form (link to be sent in an email to the student)
