Cosgrove Student Research Funding*

Amount: $800 per student ($10,000 per year in Cosgrove budget line)

Intent: To support History students (majors, hyphenated-majors) working with History faculty on historical research projects in conducting research that cannot be undertaken at CC or through Inter-Library Loan. This research can occur during the regular academic year or, with faculty approval, during the summer. Students can apply to fund travel to libraries, archives or museums for on-site research, to conduct oral history interviews, or to gather other materials for research projects. We would support direct travel costs, modest living expenses, and research costs (up to $800) encouraging students to apply for Venture Grant Funding first or concurrently. This would help students who have already used CC Venture Grant funding or whose Venture Grants don’t cover their expenses or who are not successful in a request for a Venture Grant.  Applications would be vetted by the chair and then circulated to the rest of the Department. Once approved, checks would be requested from the business office, which takes 4-5 days.

Requirements: (Limited to $800)

1. Detailed proposal (Using the same proposal you have developed for Venture Grants would be fine) describing the project, its timetable, and its specific research needs, listing the libraries/archives/museums to be visited  and the materials that the applicant hopes to examine.
2. Brief Letter of support from CC History Department member
3. Detailed budget, with airfare or mileage, food and lodging costs, and research expenses (photocopying, images, etc.)
4. Recipients need to acknowledge they have received this funding in their written work or in any presentation of that work.*

DUE DATE: 1^st  Monday of each block (because we have a Dept. meeting that 1^st Wednesday)
