Research and Creative Activities at SIUE

At Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, undergraduate students participate in exciting research and scholarly activity.

Each year, faculty and staff receive grants and contracts for research, teaching and service initiatives from funding organizations such as National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Health and Human Services, and United States Environmental Protection Agency.

SIUE’s Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URCA) program offers undergraduate students one-on-one mentoring from SIUE professors and an introduction to research early in their undergraduate program. URCA participants receive local, regional, national and international awards for their work. Many URCA students co-author research published in scholarly journals and presented at professional conferences.
