The Student-Faculty Collaborative Grant Program is specially designed to support undergraduate research activities on the ETSU campus.  The ETSU Office of Sponsored Research provides funds annually, and the University Honors Programs Office administers the grant awards process.  This exceptional program has supported over 60 research projects since its inception in 1995.  With support from this program, ETSU undergraduates have presented results of their research at national, international, and regional professional meetings and have published their research in scholarly journals.

Undergraduate students and their faculty mentors are invited each October to submit grant proposals requesting funds to support a research project.  Appropriate experts from academic departments across campus review proposals and make recommendations.  Funds may be requested for costs of supplies and/or travel (no stipends); the maximum amount currently awarded for a single grant is $1,000.
