The Dean of Faculty Office administers several grants for Dartmouth students to fully or partially cover the cost of independent and honors thesis research in any discipline . The Waterhouse Research Grant defrays costs of a leave-term independent research project in a student's major field of study. Research may take place either off campus or in Hanover with Dartmouth faculty. Applicants must have completed one year of coursework, with preference given to sophomores and juniors, and must be enrolled for one term after the term of research. Projects are not given academic credit but may be used as preliminary research for a thesis.
