Social Science Research Grant
The Social Science Research Grant is possible through a generous gift from the Engdahl Family Fund, College of Liberal Arts, and the Executive Vice President and Provost.
Social Sciences Research Grants are designed to support "hard-to-fund” or “rapid response” research and research in areas related to brain imaging. Awards assist faculty with gaining access to national scientific data not otherwise accessible, for conducting pilot research that will enhance competitiveness in external grant competitions, and for faculty to complete fieldwork in fast-moving field situations. Awards additionally support graduate student research experiences and encourage collaborations with graduate students from underrepresented groups.
