  • Who is eligible.
    Graduate students working on RSI-affiliated research projects or included on RSI-affiliated proposals.

  • Application Procedure.
    Requests may be submitted by the PI to the RSI Director, using the RSI Grant Request form, and
    • describing how the request fits within the funding types outlined above,
    • listing the specific request,
    • placing the request in the context of other graduate support on the same or related grants, and
    • describing in broad terms the research project the student will pursue (so its relationship to RSI can be determined).

  • Expected Funding. Approximately $10,000 per year. Note: This amount will increase as RSI-related research activity grows. For now, however, the amount budgeted is too small to support even one full GRA. Therefore, only requests for supplements and cost-shares can be considered at present.

    (Please refer to RSI's overall budget plans for an estimate of the total amount to be awarded this year.)

  • Timeline
    Requests will be responded to as quickly as possible. However, please request as early as possible.
