Calling all students! Are you considering applying for a Summer Research Grant in the Arts, Humanities or Social Sciences? Or maybe in Science & Mathematics? These research grants offer you the opportunity to be supported by a stipend while you have the chance to conduct meaningful research on a subject that matters to you. They are prestigious awards, and the application process is competitive, but the library is here to help you!
All of the grant applications require a bibliography or reference list as part of your project description, and we can help you find those sources. It’s easy to make an appointment with the liaison librarian for your area of interest. You can also find email addresses for librarians, and recommended databases for you to search, on the Research Guides for your subject area. Interested in the genetics of Drosophila melanogaster? Eli Gandour-Rood, Science Liaison Librarian, can help you conduct a thorough and up-to-date literature review. Fascinated by local Tacoma history? Humanities Liaison Peggy Burge can help you identify potential primary sources.
Applications are due in early March, so contact a librarian today to find out how we can help you write a successful Summer Research Grant application!
