Graduate/Undergraduate Research Collaboration Fund
The Graduate/Undergraduate Research Collaboration Fund is intended to encourage projects in which a graduate student and one to two undergraduates conduct research together under the supervision of a full-time faculty member (who must hold graduate faculty status). A project may encompass an interdisciplinary team of undergraduates, graduates and faculty members from more than one department (at least one of the faculty members must have graduate faculty status), though only one proposal per department or program may be submitted.
Applicants may request a maximum of $1,000 to support the research collaboration.
Funds may be requested to defray costs in connection with such items as research
supplies, software programs, and minor equipment. These funds may not be used for
travel because undergraduates can apply to the Undergraduate Research Funds and graduates
to the GSA for that purpose.
Students will apply using a Google form (below) and attach their PDF proposal. Detailed
proposal requirements and application evaluation criteria available on the pdf:

Graduate Student Foreign Travel Fund
The Graduate Student Foreign Travel Fund is intended to encourage travel that would
significantly enhance a graduate student鈥檚 training by research or study abroad, whether
during the summer or the academic year. In addition to personal development and enrichment,
travel abroad can enhance the student鈥檚 research skills, expand research networks,
provide access to specialized equipment and expertise, develop cultural diplomacy
skills, and ultimately improve career prospects. The proposed research or study abroad
must be clearly structured and ideally would build upon international connections
already existing among CAS faculty. Awards may be used to defray costs in connection
with travel, housing and books, but may not be used for travel to conferences since
graduate students can apply to the GSA for that purpose. Applicants may request a
maximum of $1000 to support the proposed project. Only one proposal per department
or program may be submitted.
Students will apply using a Google form (below) to fill out a brief application and
attach their PDF proposal. Detailed proposal requirements and application evaluation
