Funding
We understand a student’s desire to get involved, and we want to help in any way we can! As such, the Office of Student Research provides several internal opportunities and external resources that could help fund research. If you need additional funding for your research, please look through the awards and groups we have listed here or contact us if you have any questions. Good luck with your future research!
