Community Engagement Research Grant
Applications for the Community Engagement Research Grant are due November 15, 2024 for the Fall 2024 Cycle.
All ETSU undergraduate students are eligible to apply.
URCA Community Engagement Grants are designed to support the original community-based research and scholarly activities of undergraduate students working with a faculty mentor that build bridges from the campus to local, regional, and global communities. Proposals will be reviewed twice during the academic year, once in fall and once in spring with final activity reports due in May.
The grants provide funding for purchases that support original undergraduate research
and scholarly activity: supplies, equipment, travel for research/scholarly activity
(not conferences), recruitment incentives, research software, or other expenses related
to the scholarly activity.
The maximum award is $1500.
Eligibility and limitations:
- All ETSU students (not just Honors students) are eligible.
- Priority will be given to students who have not previously received an URCA award and who do not have existing research/scholarly activity support or funding.
- Only one award proposal per faculty mentor should be submitted each academic year.
- Funds not spent by the stated deadline will be reclaimed to be used for other awards.
- Funds cannot be used to purchase gift cards for participants.
