The RISE Small Grant Program is designed to support any aspect of research that involves STEM education in any discipline at UNCG. The grant will fund innovative research that advances the RISE vision of promoting research and/or instruction in STEM education at UNCG. It is expected that these seed funds for research projects will lead to the development of external grant proposals.
The RISE Small Grant Program includes:
- One individual grant up to $2500 to be expended in the 2017-2018 Fiscal Budget year ending June 30, 2018 (or smaller grants totaling $2500)
Funds may be used for:
- Any research project that includes a component of STEM education or outreach
- Supplies or small equipment items for STEM-related research
- Travel to research conferences in STEM fields for faculty or students
- Stipend for faculty or students to conduct STEM-related research
Requirements: 1 page (maximum) non-technical proposal with budget that includes:
- Title
- Name and position at UNCG
- Description of proposed STEM research detailing the purpose of the project and activities
- Expected Results
- Proposed budget including personnel
- Statement about how the proposed research will translate into future external funding
The proposal should be submitted as a single .pdf to Victoria Lusk at rise@uncg.edu. Format: 11-point font, 1 inch margins.
The final report on grant-funded accomplishments or work-in-progress is due by September 30, 2018. A presentation to the RISE Advisory Board will take place in fall 2018.
The proposal Deadline is November 28th, 2017 at 5pm, and the award will be announced by December 8th, 2017. Questions may be addressed to RISE co-directors Malcolm Schug (mdschug@uncg.edu) or Lynn Sametz (l_sametz@uncg.edu).
