Award and Conditions
- Awards consist of $500 or $1,000 to support research projects. We anticipate offering as many as 10 awards at $500 and five awards at $1,000.
Applicants must be working with a faculty or industry mentor to develop and submit a research proposal focused on plant, animal or human health in complex, managed ecosystems. While applications must be broadly relevant to this topic, we will consider applications from any area of STEM. The award can support a project to be conducted during the following summer or fall semester.
Awards may be used to support research (supplies, instrument time, travel to field sites, etc.) but cannot be used to support travel to conferences for research presentations (for this we direct you to the Office of Undergraduate Research travel grant program).
