Global Research Grant
Applications for the Community Engagement Research Grant are due April 15, 2025 for the 2024-2025 cycle.
URCA Global Research Grants are designed to support undergraduate students engaging
research experiences around the globe, taking what is learned in class and connecting
it to problems, contexts, and communities off campus. Awards may be used in local,
regional, or international settings.
Proposals will be reviewed once during the academic year.
The grants provide funding for purchases that support original undergraduate research
and scholarly activity: materials and supplies, travel, housing, and tuition and fees.
The maximum award is $3000.
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.
Please note that funds are awarded as scholarships. As such, if students have any outstanding debts on their accounts, the scholarships will automatically be applied to that end. The office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities has no control over this process.
