WRD encourages WRD majors and minors to conduct research at UK.

To help facilitate undergraduate research, WRD will offer up to $1,000 as support.

We encourage work in areas related to writing, rhetorical studies, or digital research. Such work might include:

• Studies of social media trends
• Documentary production
• Research into political rhetoric
• Policy research
• Social activism based research
• Health care rhetoric research
• Specific industry research regarding workplace communication, digital production, branding, or other areas
• Research into the teaching of writing
• Archive construction

To apply, please send a two page letter to the department chair at j.rice@uky.edu in which you

• Describe your project and its potential for scholarship or the public
• Provide a budget and your need for the funding
• Note any other funding you are current receiving (if any)

Applications will be reviewed and funded on a rolling basis. Decisions will be made by WRD's Steering Committee.
