Public Health Student Summer Research Grant
Application Deadline: March 10th
Public Health Summer Grant Application
The Public Health Student Summer Research Grant is intended to fund students working on independent research projects with faculty mentorship, or students collaborating with faculty on joint research projects. Students will be awarded $3,000 for 8 full-time weeks of work and will also earn 1.0 credit. Free room will be provided to students if living on campus. Faculty mentors will receive $1,000. The evaluating committee places the highest priority on the quality of the student proposals submitted, the perceived impact on the student’s academic goals, and the potential impact on public health. Incomplete applications, or those submitted after the deadline will not be considered.
Student Expectations:
1) This experience will require students to work 40 hours a week for 8 weeks (or the equivalent) over the summer, with no other obligations during that time period.
2) Students will need a faculty mentor, who will oversee the project.
3) Students don’t need to physically reside in Allentown during the summer (although free room on campus will be provided); however, students and faculty mentors will need to meet regularly.
4) Students must register for 1 credit of Public Health Research over the summer.
5) Research must be presented in the College’s annual student research poster presentation in the fall semester following the summer research.
6) A final report of the research must be submitted by September 1 st to the faculty mentor. The following guidelines are designed to assist students in providing the Committee with the information it needs to make an informed decision regarding the proposals. If additional information seems appropriate, please provide it. If a particular question does not apply to the project, please state “Not applicable”. Students must show a draft of the proposal to the faculty sponsor for approval prior to submission.
Application submission: please email one copy/one attachment (PDF) of the grant application to Dr. Chrysan Cronin at [email protected] by March 10th.
