$1,000 GLRC Research Grants are available for graduate and undergraduate students whose primary advisor is a GLRC faculty member and a PI on a proposal submitted through the GLRC within the last year or have an active award through the GLRC. The grants are intended to provide graduate and undergraduate students an opportunity to gain experience in writing competitive grants and to perform research they would not be able to attempt due to funding limitations. Allowable expenditures may include supplies, services, equipment, travel, and personnel.
Funded students are expected to participate/volunteer for at least one GLRC activity during the grant period. A final research report is due within 30 days of grant end date. Please read the GLRC Student Research Grants Guide for further information about grant terms, proposal instructions, and evaluation criteria.
GLRC Research Grant Application: Accepted 3 times each year - November 1, March 1, and July 1.
