Copies of articles or books, citations by others of nominee's work, reviews of prior work, or other proof of capability would be appropriate. A statement of specific ideas, importance of the proposed work, and consideration of realistic potential for external funding should be included. The nominator would be expected to work closely with the nominee to develop both the nomination and the research proposal application, but the application is to be from the nominee only. Minigrant proposals should follow current UCR proposal guidelines except as noted. Minigrant proposals must include an explanation as to why the request cannot await the regular twice-yearly funding cycle.
Guidelines also differ on length limits and some other specifications.
Applicants should obtain and follow Minigrant Guidelines. All students currently enrolled at UNO are eligible to apply. Requests for materials, research supplies, and other expenses related to the conduct of original research or creative activity will be considered. Requests for expenses to cover student travel to professional meetings for the purpose of presenting the results of research or creative activity will also be considered. The format for student proposals differs from those for other proposals.
