Faculty Request for Summer Research Support

Faculty are invited to request funding for students and themselves to do research during Summer 2024. If appropriate to the project, the student stipend can be divided among two or more students. Summer student researchers should be enrolled at Xavier for Fall 2024. As in the past, requests from junior faculty will be funded first with each being able to support one student. Any additional funding will be used to consider requests from senior faculty.

It is expected that participating student researchers will:

• Present a talk at the annual Summer Research Symposium to be held in August.
• Submit a short project report (1-2 pages) at the end of the summer.

Faculty members receiving the stipend are expected to make every effort possible to attend the Summer Symposium and next spring’s Celebration. Finally, funding may also be available for students to conduct research working with a faculty member who does not receive one of the grants.

To be considered for summer support, faculty members should submit a description of the proposed work below. The description should include the significance of the work to a faculty member’s overall research plan and explain how a student will be involved in and ultimately benefit from working on the project. If the work is best done with more than one student working on the project, please explain this in the request. Contact Kat Morris for more details about funding amounts and hourly work commitments.

The deadline for submission of the proposals is Monday, February 26, 2024, at 5 p.m.  Faculty whose projects will be funded can expect to be notified in early March.
