Research partnership grant
Research Partnership Grants are intended to encourage freshmen and sophomores to become involved in research or scholarly activities in disciplines that evoke their interest. Research Partnership Grant awardees should work approximately 6 to 10 hours weekly during a semester. (Summer activities are flexible.)
The goal of the program is to make freshmen and sophomore students aware of some important aspects of the research and/or scholarly activities professors pursue, and to help prepare students for more advanced research and scholarly activities as they pursue a major.
