Research Grant Competition

Purpose

Grant writing can be a very time consuming and intensive process that may take several submissions before funding is approved. The purpose of this competition is to give our members the opportunity to begin learning the grant writing process, gain experience, and receive grants to support their research.

Research Grant Applications

Students are required to submit a TTUAB Research Grant Proposal and a letter of recommendation from their faculty advisor. Only complete applications that adhere to the guidelines stated below will be evaluated for funding. As per By-Law V, sec. 2 only Full TTUAB members qualify for the biology research grant awards. This includes completion of service hours, TTABSS participation and payment of dues. Full TechASM members may apply for the microbiology research awards only. All applications and recommendation letters will be submitted to Andy Parks (andy.parks@ttu.edu) for the 2023 Research Grant Competition by: April 14st, 2023.
