Research and Dissemination (Travel) Grants

As of March 4, 2013, all Student Research and Dissemination grant funds, including student Just-in-Time grant funds, have been awarded through June 30, 2013.
The next scheduled grant submission due date is May 1, 2013. (see below for more details regarding this due date)

The purpose of the UW-Stout Student Research Fund is to provide undergraduate and graduate students with funds to support research and the dissemination of research. Research is broadly defined as a systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge. This includes the creative pursuits that are characteristic of the arts and humanities. It is expected that this research will be conducted by a student or a group of students, with the guidance of a member of the faculty/academic staff of UW-Stout.
