Both awards involve the submission of a specific budget for research expenses, as well as short research proposal, student CV, and letter of support from their research adviser. Students may apply on a competitive basis for awards up to $3000 to support their research, but any amount above $2000 must be matched by cost-sharing with advisers, departments and/or disciplinary colleges.
