Each year, the Graduate Student Research Grant program provides awards of up to $1,000 to outstanding graduate students in order to reimburse them for the financial costs of conducting research necessary for the completion of their degrees. This year, we received 44 highly competitive applications, and the following students were identified by the Faculty’s adjudication committee as submitting very strong research proposals.
