The
Research Fellowship (RF) is a competitive award
designed to assist individual graduate students in
obtaining funds to further their research
endeavors. Students may use the Research
Fellowship to fund travel related to their
research or purchase consumables or other
research-related materials. This Fellowship is
not intended for Conference Travel. Application
and receipt of Conference Travel Awards do not
exclude a student from consideration of the
Research Fellowship. If you have received the
maximum funds allowed for the Conference Travel
Award and wish to attend other conferences
directly related to your research, this may be
included in your proposal.
Please
note: due to University policy, the Research
Fellowship may not be used to purchase electronic
items of any kind, payments to third parties for
services, survey awards/gifts, classes or training
of any kind.
A student must satisfy all
of the following criteria to be considered for the
Research Fellowship:
-Must
be registered for at least one credit hour every
semester (Except Summer)
-Must be a member of a
properly registered and active Graduate Student
Association (Please see http://www.uc.edu/GSGA/MembersGroup.html
for a current list)
-A student must be a degree seeking graduate student with at least 12
credit hours earned.
The
Research Fellowship is made possible by the
generous support of the Office of Research, the
Graduate School, the Office of the Provost and the
Graduate Student Governance Association.
Students
may apply for individual Research Fellowships. All
research proposals will be considered and are not
required to align with thesis or dissertation
projects. Research Fellowships are a one-time
award per degree. If a student graduates after
receiving a Research Fellowship and returns to the
University of Cincinnati to complete another
degree, he or she may be eligible for another
Research Fellowship in their new degree.
