Following the guidelines in section IV, draft a proposal explaining your overall goals and why you are doing this project. Be sure to include specific objectives and how you intend to accomplish them. Remember not everyone on the granting committee is in your field so you need to write your grant to a general audience. Show the draft to several people including your faculty sponsor.
All good drafts go through several rounds of editing.
Those eligible to apply for Undergraduate Research Grants are all full and part-time undergraduate students. Students should carefully read the information that follows and submit proposals that adhere closely to these guidelines. Funds will be made available as early as one week following notification of the awards, and project activities may begin at that time. All funding must be expended by the end of the spring semester, one year after the award date. Failure on the part of applicants to follow the guidelines and procedures precisely as prescribed in this document will result in disqualification of the proposal.
