Student Competitive Research Grant

Student Competitive Research Grants

The ESPP Competitive Research Grant (CRG) is designed to support interdisciplinary student research at the intersection of environmental science and policy. We anticipate awarding two $4,000 grants to student researchers or research teams. Expenses should directly support the student’s research; allowable expenses include travel, software, instrumentation costs, and participant support costs. If travel is included, it must be approved prior to anticipated travel dates. Equipment (e.g., computers, printers, scanners) is not an allowable expense for these funds. Students may not combine these fellowships with other fellowships from the College of Social Science.
