Aresty Research Grants (school year only; limited funding available for summer research abroad-see Dean Levine for information)
Additional Funding Sources
Aresty Research Grants Program
We invite students to submit proposals for funding to help
defray the cost of research, including books, photocopying
costs, supplies, travel, and presentations at conferences.
Students who are awarded funding through the Aresty Research
Center are required to present their research at our Symposium
in the spring.

LANCY Grant for Faculty
The Board of Governors of the National Conferences on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) and the Trustees of the Alice and Leslie E. Lancy Foundation issue a call for proposals for the 2006 NCUR/Lancy Initiative. The Initiative is designed to provide exceptional undergraduates with the opportunity to do original work in close collaboration with faculty mentors. The program will make grants to institutions only. The initial award will be $40,000 for the summer of 2006, to be used primarily for the support of student creative and scholarly work. Awardee institutions may apply for an additional $22,500 for the summer of 2007, providing they have made acceptable progress during the first year of the award. Information concerning the application process may be found at www.ncur.org Questions may be directed to Mike Nelson at nelson.mich@uwlax.edu
National Cancer Institute’s Integrative Cancer Biology Program
The nine-week Summer Fellowship program provides a unique opportunity for rising Juniors and Seniors to engage in innovative, integrative biology approaches to cancer research through the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Integrative Cancer Biology Program (ICBP). Selected student participants will be paired with an ICBP faculty-mentor from a participating center based on their research interests. Through mentored research projects and/or laboratory work, faculty lectures, seminars, discussions and other activities, the student will gain an understanding and appreciation of major questions currently under investigation as well as the novel approaches being used within the ICBP centers. Selected participants will be invited to present their summer research in a special poster session at the Fall Meeting of the ICBP centers to be held in Washington, D.C., November, 2006.
National Institutes of
Health (NIH)
The NIH Undergraduate Scholarship Program offers competitive
scholarships to students from disadvantaged backgrounds
who are committed to careers in biomedical, behavioral and
social science health-related research. The program is designed
to improve access to education leading to research careers
for those who have had fewer opportunities than others.
National Institutes of Health - University of Cambridge Health Science Research Scholars Program
A special interdisciplinary program committed to scholarship in the training of exceptional students in various areas of basic biomedical research or clinical research leading to a Doctor of Philosophy degree awarded by the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Students will have the opportunity to be co-mentored by outstanding research investigators at NIH and at the University of Cambridge who work together on a collaborative project that can fall into any area of biomedical research. It is envisioned that students will spend roughly half of their time at Cambridge and half their time at NIH, though the specific division of time will be dictated by the research project. Students receive support for a stipend, fees, and medical insurance during the course of their study. Up to six new students are brought into the program each year.
National Institutes of Health - University of Oxford Scholars in Biomedical Research
This program is specially devoted to the training of outstanding students in various areas of biomedical research leading to a Doctor of Philosophy degree awarded by the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Student research projects will be co-mentored by a research investigator at NIH and a faculty member at University of Oxford who work together on a collaborative project in which students carry out research. It is envisioned that students will spend roughly half of their time at Oxford and half their time at NIH, though the specific division of time will be dictated by the nature of the research. Students receive support for a stipend, fees, and medical insurance during the course of their study. Up to six new students are brought into the program each year.
NJ Commission on Cancer Research Summer Research Fellowships
The purpose of the New Jersey summer cancer research fellowship is to provide an opportunity to gain "hands on" laboratory experience for promising students who are interested in pursuing a career as a cancer researcher. The program is designed to encourage students who have not had research experience especially undergraduates, medical students or new graduate students who have not got extensive laboratory experience prior to applying. Research projects must be specified and should focus on the genetic, biomedical, viral, microbiological, immunological and environmental CAUSES of cancer. Behavioral, epidemiological or clinical/therapeutic research may be considered. However, such studies should focus on malignancies of specific proved or suspected etiologies.
Awards are made in the name of the fellow to the institution. Applications must be signed by the official head of the applicant's institution or an official.
NSF
Research Experience for Undergraduates
Any faculty currently supported by NSF can request a supplement
to fund an undergraduate in the lab working on that project.
NSF also funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through its REU Sites program. An REU Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates who work in the research programs of the host institution. Each student is associated with a specific research project, where he/she works closely with the faculty and other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases, assistance with housing and travel. Undergraduate students supported with NSF funds must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions. An REU Site may be at either a US or foreign location. Faculty can apply to create an REU program here.
For examples of REU programs, check out some program descriptions here. To browse a full list, click here. Programs are available for the summer in the following areas:
- Astronomical Sciences
- Atmospheric Sciences
- Biological Sciences
- Chemistry
- Computer and Information Science and Engineering
- Department of Defense (DoD)
- Earth Sciences
- Education and Human Resources
- Engineering
- Ethics and Values Studies
- International Science and Engineering
- Materials Research
- Mathematical Sciences
- Ocean Sciences
- Physics
- Polar Programs
- Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science
Psi Chi
Psi Chi offers a range of prizes and awards for students who are either embarking on research projects or have finished a study. See, in particular, the Undergraduate Research Grants (deadline November 1 and February 1).
ResearchResearch Lite
All funding opportunities (thousands) for research from Federal sponsors, including the NIH, NSF, and over 60 more. ResearchResearch Lite is updated daily. Register for weekly email alerts.
Sigma
Xi Grants in Aid of Research
The program awards grants of up to $1,000 to students from all areas of the sciences and engineering. Designated funds from the National Academy of Sciences allow for grants of up to $5,000 for astronomy research and $2,500 for vision related research. Students use the funding to pay for travel expenses to and from a research site, or for purchase of non-standard laboratory equipment necessary to complete a specific research project.
Sponsored Program Information Network (SPIN)
SPIN provides web based information resources and searchable databases for federal and non-federal funding opportunities. It also provides listings of upcoming deadlines and allows you to customize your own e-mail notifications of funding information
