National Conference on Undergraduate Research
will be held at DeVos Place Convention Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on April 12–14, 2027.
Carla Bos, campus NCUR coordinator, Van Zoeren 249 (bosc@hope.edu), coordinates logistics of sending Hope students to NCUR each year.
The process begins in the fall of each year.
Process
- Students must submit an initial internal form stating their interest.
- Students will submit an online abstract submission to NCUR.
Hope students should list Carla’s name and contact information (bosc@hope.edu — notice the "c" after bos) on the abstract submission form, so that she will be included on all NCUR notifications. Carla can then assist students who are accepted with paperwork, travel arrangements, hotel reservations and other preparations for their experience at NCUR. - NCUR reviews the abstracts submitted and begins notification to students of being accepted to NCUR in late December/early January.
