Student Research Support Fund
Purpose:
The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) Student Research Support Fund (SRSF) is designed to provide students with a source of funds to support limited-scope student-driven research and creative scholarship. The College is considered the sponsor for the research insofar as funding is provided by the College. Funds should only be used to support the purchase of unique research items that are needed for completion of the project, and not already available at Burrell College.
Program Highlights:
Full details of the program can be found in Burrell College Standard Operating Procedure RSP.016, “Student Research Support Fund”.
Highlights of the SRSF:
- The Student Research Support Fund provides up to $500 to eligible medical students in support of research and creative scholarship.
- The program is open to all medical students in good academic standing.
- The research must be performed under the guidance of a Content Advisor and Fund Advisor.
- The proposed study must not be supplemental to an existing or ongoing research study that is conducted by the Content Advisor or Fund Advisor.
- The fund is not a monetary award to the student. Funds can only be used for items requested in the application.
