- Facilitating the Student Grant Program for Research and Creative Activity, including reviewing applications and making awards.
- Supporting Student Research and Creative Activity (SRCA) showcases.
- Reviewing policies and new initiatives related to faculty research and scholarly/creative activity and engagement and support of students in such endeavors, and providing feedback to key stakeholders.
Student Grant Program for Research & Creative Activity
Call for Applications - Spring 2023
Applications to the Traditional, Shadowing, and Course-based tracks will be accepted throughout the spring semester, and awards will be made on a rolling basis. (Course-based applications for spring 2023 semester implementation must be submitted by February 28 to be considered.) All applications for funding under these three tracks received after April 10 will be reviewed in fall 2023.
Applications to the Summer 2023 Fellowship Track must be submitted by March 27 for consideration.
Traditional Track: Funding is awarded each semester for students to conduct original research or creative work with faculty sponsorship, or to work on a faculty research team. Separate application materials are to be used for undergraduate student projects and graduate student projects (10 percent of allocated funding is available for graduate projects), and for individual projects and team programs. Budget requests are dependent on application type, as detailed in the guidelines.
Shadow Track: Funding is intended to broaden student engagement in research/CA, whereby a student with little-to-no experience joins a faculty member’s research/CA endeavor as an “observer” or a junior team member. Budgets can include up to $500 for project expenses, plus stipends for both the faculty mentor and the ‘shadow’ student.
Course-based Track: Supports activities that expose students to the breadth, depth, and application of scholarly/creative work. Faculty can apply for funding of up to $1,000 for a variety of activities that would enhance the research/creative element of a course. Applications for spring 2023 course activities must be submitted by February 28 for consideration; applications for fall 2023 should be submitted this round by the April 10 target deadline.
Summer Fellowship Track: Supports undergraduate students to participate in summer research/CA, including campus-based independent research/CA with faculty mentorship, research assistantships for campus-based faculty projects, or off-campus directed field work or other research/CA endeavor with a SUNY Oneonta faculty mentor. Applicants may apply for funding up to the maximum allowed for the specific type of summer research experience, as detailed in the program guidelines (student fellows are eligible for on-campus housing at no cost). Applications for summer 2023 fellowships must be submitted by March 27 consideration.
