Student Research Fund
The Otterbein Student Research Fund (SRF) provides support to encourage research and creative work among current Otterbein undergraduate and graduate students. To be funded, student research projects must be consistent with the definition and standards of scholarship established by the academic department associated with a project’s discipline. There are two types of grant offered:
- The SRF-Research Grants provide up to $400 for costs associated with research and other scholarly or creative endeavors. There are four deadlines each academic year for these awards.
- The SRF-Presentation Grants provide up to $400 for costs associated with travel to a conference to present research or creative work. These awards will be evaluated on a rolling basis throughout each academic year, and can be submitted as soon as the student has received notice that their presentation has been accepted by conference organizers.
