Congratulations to the 27 graduate students who were selected to receive a Rosemary Grant Research Award from the SSE!
The goal of these grants is to identify and support innovative and potentially high impact research by beginning graduate students. These awards represent over $60,000 per year of investment into research by our doctoral student members.
These awards are to assist students in the early stages of their Ph.D. programs by enabling them to collect preliminary data (to pursue additional sources of support) or to enhance the scope of their research beyond current funding limits (e.g. by visiting additional field sites, or working at other labs). Students need to confirm that the proposed work is outside any funding already held by the student or advisor.
