RESEARCH PROPOSAL

Attach a one-page description of the research project that clearly states your research project topic and why it needs to be

undertaken at the proposed location at the proposed time. These are competitive grants; applications should make a clear

link between the proposed research travel and the student’s degree objectives. Applications which fail to present a

compelling justification for the proposed project will be at a significant disadvantage. Awards are to fund trips of 3-5 weeks in

duration in support of post-A Exam independent research travel. Applications that are essentially full semester funding

requests will not be considered. Request from prior recipients will be given low priority.

BUDGET STATEMENT

Attach an itemized budget, showing expenditures for food, lodging, transportation, and any other categories for each

segment of your itinerary. Please note that the Graduate School seeks to award a maximum number of grants from limited

funds. For this reason, students are encouraged to submit requests that reflect careful budgeting. For example, applicants

should use public transportation, plan on preparing their own meals whenever possible, and secure modest

accommodations. Research travel grants are not intended to act as full semester fellowships.
