Independent Research Grants

Benefits & Commitments | Application Process | Previous Projects | Reimbursement Forms

SIRE Grants support independent research and scholarly projects by undergraduate students. Grants are awarded to students in any field of the Arts and Sciences.

Grants cover costs for student research or creative projects. Costs can include the cost of books, travel for the purpose of doing research (for example, if you travel to a field research site or to a library, the grant will cover transportation costs and lodging), mailings, small equipment, or other research-related expenses. The maximum amount for a grant is $2,500 if the student is remaining in the U.S., although the application may be for a lesser amount.
Students proposing projects involving international travel may apply for a supplemental grant (up to $1,500 in addition to the SIRE grant, for a total grant of $4,000) from the Center for International Programs Abroad (CIPA) as part of this application (no additional application is necessary).
