The University Libraries Undergraduate Research Contest recognizes and rewards outstanding research conducted by undergraduate students at the University of Missouri. Undergraduates in any discipline are invited to enter the contest, which will be judged by a cross-disciplinary panel of librarians.
One $500 scholarship, and one $250 scholarship will be awarded to an individual or group project. The winners will have their projects archived in MOspace, MU’s digital repository.
The research project can be a traditional research paper, a musical composition, a work of art, a video, a web page, or other creative work. It has to have been researched using the resources of the MU Libraries. The project will be judged primarily on sophistication of the research process and the materials used (as documented in the Research Process Statement).
Examples of projects:
The deadline for submission of all materials is January 31, 2020. Winners will be announced in February 2020.

Dr. Donald Lindberg was a pioneer in using computer technology to improve health care. Beginning his career in 1960 at the University of Missouri as a professor of information science and pathology, he was named Director of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) in 1984 and served until 2015.
During his tenure at the NLM, he spearheaded digitizing the library’s vast holdings to make them accessible to researchers around the world. For the first time clinical trials, environmental data, and genomic information were available to users. In addition to this work, he helped establish the National Center for Biotechnology Information, which provides access to the results of the human genome project and to current as well as historical full-text biomedical and life sciences journals . To learn more about Dr. Lindberg’s life please read the New York Times write up about him as well as the piece by the National Institutes of Health.
