Levitt Research Group Grants support groups of students completing summer research projects under the supervision of at least one faculty advisor. The grants are intended to encourage faculty and student publications. Fieldwork or original analysis of existing data is generally required, with preference given to teams doing research in the local community. Projects that will be useful for policy makers and other researchers are also encouraged. Student and faculty members from all divisions in the college are encouraged to apply.
Students in research groups and their faculty advisors meet regularly to coordinate and communicate research efforts, as well as participate in a weekly gathering with other research groups. Each student works on a full-time basis for at least 10 weeks, and submits a 25-page paper by August 15th. Research Groups must present the results of their research at the end of July. Faculty will then have the opportunity to nominate specific outstanding groups to present their research in an exhibition that will take place during family weekend in September.
Stipends: $4,000 per student.
