Student Research Awards for Faculty: Summer 2013

For summer 2013, Carleton's HHMI grant, Towsley Fund and Kolenkow Reitz Fund can support awards to science and math faculty for the equivalent of approximately 18 full-time students working on campus or in the field (in the case of Geology). The student stipend rate for summer 2013 is $4,200 for 10 weeks of full-time work.
To apply for these awards, fill out the online application below. Carleton faculty in science and math departments and programs are eligible to apply for this funding (Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology, Math, Psychology, Physics/Astronomy, Cognitive Science, and ENTS).


Deadline: 5pm Central Time on Feb. 5, 2013.


Contacts: Joe Chihade (Chemistry). The Science and Math Steering Board will deliberate on these proposals and makes the awards in mid-February.


Student eligibility criteria: All students with a demonstrated interest in science and math are eligible - but they must be enrolled at Carleton for the year after the summer they apply to do research. Carleton graduates are not eligible for this award. Faculty receive the award and hire students of their choice.


What does the award fund? Per student, a summer stipend ($420/week for up to 10 weeks) plus funds for student conference travel and research supplies.


Award Criteria:
  • Quality of educational/research experience for student
  • A Carleton faculty member who is regularly available (daily, weekly) for face-to-face student mentoring
  • Junior faculty members who are untenured and without other grant or department resources will receive special consideration
  • Status of additional support from outside funding or the department/program
  • Impact on faculty research
  • When requests exceed available funding, we may limit awards to one student per faculty member, as in recent years
