How to Apply

• Go to the URS home page: http://www.umsl.edu/divisions/artscience/uresearch/URS.html
  
  
• Click on the hyperlinks for the forms:
• Submit an Intent to Participate (ITP) form. The ITP holds a poster space or an oral time slot in your name. Both poster and oral presentation space is limited, so submitting an ITP increases the odds that you can present in format you choose. Note that after you submit the ITP, you must also submit an application by the application deadline.
  
  
• Submit an Application form, whether or not you submitted an ITP.
