ATP Semester Grants Program

ATP Semester Grant Deadline: March 2, 2012

The purpose of ATP Semester Grants is to encourage undergraduate research during the academic year by providing funds to offset the costs of research-related supplies and travel.   Sometimes,  research projects involve costs to students such as travel and supplies that are not normally supported by department budgets and go beyond the typical costs of the course, such as textbooks.

ATP supports individual students working independently, and small groups of students working independently from other students.  These tend to be students enrolled in independent study, or in small or upper level major courses, although students in large classes are also welcome to apply with the consent and recommendation of their instructor.  Instructors who include research as part of their course requirement in which individual students engage in projects independent from one another should encourage their students to use this grant application. In such a case, each project is judged independently by ATP, and thus there is no guarantee of course-wide support.

NOTE: please be sure your mentor has reviewed your project prior to submitting an online grant application.

These grants are not to be used to replace departmental budget responsibilities for typical classroom work, and cannot be used to purchase computer equipment or computer supplies. You are expected to consult extensively with your research mentor (the instructor of your course) for help in completing this application.  Please refer to the ATP Current Inventory sheet when completing your budget.  If you need any of these items, please contact Kathy Frederick (2303) before completing your budget.
