Faculty-Student Summer Research
This grant is intended to support joint faculty-student scholarship and must involve the student in collaborative research with faculty for a period of 10 weeks during the summer. Although the grant application will be submitted by the faculty member it must include identified student(s) who will be an active participant in the research team. Preference will be given to faculty not teaching in the summer.
Scope of acceptable projects: any creative/scholarly activity by Manchester University undergraduate students and faculty is appropriate for funding. This opportunity is viewed as a professional development experience for both faculty and student and should not be considered as only an educational training opportunity for the students. Please note that an off-campus presentation and/or publication of the results is expected.
Funding:
Faculty – summer stipend of $1,500 to $3,000, depending on the time commitment for the research. This payment can be received as salary (taxable) or as reimbursement for project related expenses (nontaxable).
Student – summer stipend up to $4,000, depending on number of hours required for the research, plus on campus housing.
A maximum of $1,000 is available for expendable supplies and travel associated with presenting the results of the research.
