Student Research Endowed Funds support new and promising research endeavors conducted by UM-Flint students, encourage individual or group scholarly work, and recognize ambitious student research agendas. These funds support student research expenses, including supplies, printing, human subject incentives, and state, regional, or national conference-related costs. 

Funded research projects must be conducted under the supervision of a UM-Flint faculty member; therefore, a faculty advisor’s endorsement is necessary.

Maximum funding is $1000 per award per year. Students should seek matching funds from their departments or comparable funding agencies. The total amount awarded from all sources (including Fran Frazier Awards, department funding, and these Student Endowed Funds), may not exceed total funds needed for the project or conference. Additionally, funds received from other sources must be reported to the Office of Research. Finally, receipts may not be submitted to multiple departments/units for reimbursement.
