This award provides support for student research-related expenses and professional development by defraying the cost associated with disseminating research findings, to provide opportunities for students to communicate their work in a professional setting, experience cutting-edge research from leaders in their field, explore various graduate programs across the nation and funding opportunities, to engage with other research scholars outside of student’s usual environment and establish significant contacts through networking. This award also defrays the cost associated with student research projects including presentations and publication expenses. These funds will allow students to cover research related expenses such as research books, materials, supplies, small equipment, poster printing, and more.
