Honors College Research funding
Image
The Honors College at Appalachian strongly supports student research, scholarship, and creative activity. We are excited to report that, thanks to the generosity of some private donors and of Chancellor Heather Norris and the Division of Academic Affairs, we now have some funding available to support this work and its public dissemination. Honors College students should submit applications for this funding well in advance of their travel dates and/or anticipated purchase of supplies, equipment, or services.
Funding is intended to help meet the costs of
- Equipment, supplies, or services for Honors research, scholarship, or creative activity
- Travel to collect data and/or conduct research or creative activity
- Travel to present research or creative activities at professional conferences
- Certain internships, service-learning projects, or professional development activities
Funding may not cover
- Food and beverage expenses
- Payments to human subjects
- Gift certificate or gift card purchases
- MTurk or Amazon payments
Application Requirements
- Be in good academic standing and be making demonstrable progress toward graduating with University Honors
- Discuss and review your proposal with your faculty mentor prior to submitting an application
- Submit a project title, contact information for your faculty mentor, a detailed project description written for non-experts, and a compelling budget justification
- If your project involves working with human subjects or animals, obtain appropriate research protection approval: human subject research requires Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval; animal research requires Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approval
- Be willing to share your story with us to encourage other Honors College students to follow in your footsteps.
With our gratitude to private benefactors of the Honors College.
