Undergraduate Research Grants Available

By Omar Medina

As part of its allocation of Instructionally Related Activity Fees, the Fee Advisory Committee has funded the Undergraduate Research Grant Program for the 2007-2008 academic year. These research grants are designed to aid undergraduates with expenses they may incur in their research projects, such as supplies, equipment, or travel to present their research at professional or scholarly meetings. The maximum award is $500 per grant. To qualify, a research project must be supported by a faculty sponsor and must be directly related to a class in which the student is enrolled.

Faculty members are encouraged to make this information available to students who are engaged in or considering independent research projects. Guidelines and application forms are available in the Academic Programs office, Stevenson 1041, or on the web at http://www.sonoma.edu/aa/ap. The priority deadline for applications is Oct. 26. For further information, contact David Hartranft at 707-664-2237.
