Ohio State Newark Student Research Grant
OHIO STATE NEWARK STUDENT RESEARCH GRANTS APPLICATION DEADLINE: Friday May 1st, 2009
The faculty and administration of Ohio State Newark recognize that the academic experience is not limited to the classroom. In conjunction with the university’s dedication to enhancing the undergraduate research experience, Ohio State Newark is proud to offer Student Research Grants (SRGs) of up to $1,000 per project in for the 2008-2009 academic year. Funds are available for students of all undergraduate majors and can be utilized for a variety of purposes, including, but not limited to; research, creative work, and professional development. Recipients are strongly encouraged to consider presenting their proposal or completed project at the Ohio State Newark Student Research Forum in March 2009 and their completed work at the Denman Undergraduate Research Forum in Columbus in May 2009.
Examples of fundable expenses:
The above list is not exhaustive and all students pursuing projects that will serve to enrich their undergraduate academic experience are encouraged to apply. Please note: 1) Hypothesis driven research projects will be given top priority for funding; 2) All travel related expenses must be pre-approved by the chair of the Student Matters Committee or the Dean/Director; 3) Due to budget limitations, SRGs may no longer be used to fund conference related travel unless the applicant(s) will be presenting at the conference (proof of attendance may be requested); 4) Each project may receive funding only once per academic year, though individuals may seek funding for more than one project per academic year.
Application and supporting materials: Completed applications must include a project proposal, an itemized budget, and a recommendation letter from the project advisor. Application form (form is in *.doc format, you will need access to Microsoft Word to open it)
Human and animal subjects: There are special requirements to receive final approval for all projects that will involve human or animal subjects. All researchers working with human subjects must seek approval for their project from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and complete a specific training session online prior to receiving funding or conducting research. The chair of the Student Matters Committee is required to request both an IRB protocol number and a verification sheet from the online training before issuing a final approval of the grant. More information can be found at http://orrp.osu.edu/index.cfm. All researchers working with animal subjects must seek approval for their project from the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), must conduct their research in an approved facility (Founders Hall 2126 is an approved facility for amphibian work), and must complete a mandatory Animal Usage Orientation course prior to receiving funding or conducting research. The chair of the Student Matters Committee is required to request both an IACUC protocol number and a verification sheet from the online training prior to final approval of the grant. More information can be found at http://orrp.osu.edu/index.cfm.
Enrollment Conditions: Applicants must be working under the direction of an Ohio State Newark faculty member. Applicants generally must be enrolled as full-time Ohio State Newark students (at least 12 credit hours) to be considered eligible for SRG funding, although part-time enrollment with a heavy research emphasis is allowable.
Method of Selection: Applications, proposals, and letters of recommendation are reviewed by a committee of faculty from a variety of academic fields. Applicants will be selected on the merits of their application, the feasibility of the proposed project, and the potential of the proposed project to impact the professional and educational development of the recipient. Successful applicants will receive a letter by email notifying them of the status of their application.
Final Report: Students who receive SRG funding will be expected to submit a one to two page report addressing how they have benefited from the award in addition to documentation (receipts) of their expenditures.

completed project on the field of study, and the academic merits of the faculty
member. These grants give faculty members a wonderful opportunity to fund
