What is the Research Grant Fund?

Undergraduate research. Yes, it’s possible.

Research at U of GH considers our students learning experience along with the significance of the research itself.  

Why? Because we know that whether you choose to pursue graduate school, begin your career, or advance your career, this singular achievement – and all the skills it represents can set you apart.

We’re especially proud to have a fund that supports students applying to be a research assistant for a project – a defining element of a postsecondary education typically reserved for the graduate level.

Objectives

Our commitment to teaching and learning is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the very structure of our research grant fund: instructors who receive funding hire and work with you – our students – as paid research assistants.

This means you get to work and learn alongside experts in their fields, while building key relationships with them. You can grow you network beyond the university and take advantage of the possibility of being named on a publication or giving a presentation at an academic conference.

Learn what it means to be a part of a team whose role is to create new knowledge, investigate new connections, probe conflicting findings, and contribute to an evolving story of discovery. 

Interdisciplinary research

We encourage research in a wide range of topics and disciplines. The grant fund supports interdisciplinary research – as the need to address complex questions blurs the lines between traditional disciplines.
