Now Taking Proposals: Truman Undergradaute Resarch Stipends
Each year, Truman's Vice President for Academic Affairs awards research stipends to students who submit excellent proposals for research projects that can be conducted over the summer months. This year's application instructions are now available. This is an excellent way for students to continue a research project or to become involved in research for the first time.
Competition for these stipends is often stiff. Students who want to apply should start working with a faculty mentor now so they have time to devise an excellent research plan and write an excellent proposal.
Stipends can also be used to allow a student to plug in to an ongoing program, such as one funded by the National Science Foundation (cf. the Next STEP Office's SURE program or the Mathematical Biology Program's "Research-focused Learning Communities in Mathematical Biology" program).
Students in mathematics or computer science should turn their proposal in to the MTCS Division Office. Students in science turn their proposal in the the Science Division Office. (Note that the Science Division also has alumni research stipends available for its students; check with the Science Division Office for details on how these differ from the VPAA's stipends.) Projects that are interdisciplinary in nature should be turned in to the VPAA's office in McClain Hall.
