DUOS Award recipients 2006-07

Doctoral-Undergraduate Opportunities for Scholarship (DUOS) is a small grants program aimed at heightening the synergy between graduate and undergraduate programs at Miami University. This program enables Miami undergraduates to do research or other creative activities with the guidance of a doctoral student mentor. The committee was very impressed by the quality of the applications we received. We are proud of the mutually beneficial partnerships that graduate and undergraduates have formed for conducting research and scholarship.
