Research Project Award Application (Student)
Purpose: Students may apply for and receive awards offered through the Center for Research &
Scholarship (CRS) for research projects. Students, either as individuals or as research teams, will be
given these awards to resource the purchase of equipment (which becomes University assets), supplies,
and travel (including overseas) and the payment of consultation fees, stipends, or other support services
needed for the execution of research projects. Students interested in applying for these awards will need
to meet criteria established by CRS, including an identified faculty sponsor.
“Research” refers to inquiry that harnesses knowledge, skills, and values to produce new knowledge or
to make a new contribution to the discipline, and it is recognized that this concept varies across the
humanities, the creative arts, and the sciences disciplines.
