APPLY FOR GRANT FUNDING
The research funding is now closed and will be reopened for applications on January 10th, 2023. Notification of award decisions typically take one month or less; students should plan their application submission accordingly. Students may request funding for reimbursement of expenses already incurred, however the Honors College cannot guarantee an award will be made in these cases.
Research funding is available to Honors College students in good standing. Students may request awards up to $1000 to support research travel, the purchase of research supplies, or for research dissemination (e.g., participation at academic conferences). Honors College funds are intended to support completion of the scholarly project; however, students do not need to have an approved scholarly project proposal to be considered for an award. Applications for exploratory work that is intended to lead to a scholarly project will also be considered.
The deadline for submitting 2022-2023 research funding application is March 10th, 2023. Questions, including students in need of expedited review or who have not had a response to their application in over a month, may contact the grants administrator, Dr. Chaonan Liu, liu2313@purdue.edu.
Please note that travel for research purposes falls under the category of “student travel” and must adhere to the most recent Protect Purdue travel guidelines, https://protect.purdue.edu/updates/travel-guidelines/.
