The Student Research Funds support graduate and undergraduate research, creative,
and scholarly endeavors across all academic programs. SRFs can be used to purchase
supplies, travel to research sites (graduate students only), or present at a conference.
The grant review and submission process encourages the professional development in
the students' research and writing skills.
Click here to apply for funding to travel to present your research at a conference.
Any travel support will need prior university approval.
As soon as you submit an abstract to a conference and you know that funding will be
needed, complete the SRF application. Awards are pending receipt of conference acceptance,
but early applications allow SISR to work with other departments funding your travel.
Our goal is to make sure you have what you need. Early applications will also allow
SISR to start the travel authorization process.
For domestic travel: Travel authorizations should be completed at least 10 days prior to date
of travel so SISR can ensure that all signatures will be in place before travel begins.
For international travel: Before you complete the SRF application, you must have the necessary paperwork/insurance
and have received approval to travel overseas both from Export Control (please contact Sherry Alexander for help filling out this form) and from the Office of Global Engagement. All of the required documentation and permissions will need to be uploaded to the
SRF application, which should be submitted at least 45 days prior to travel. International
travel requires a number of additional approvals and thus can take some time.
SRF applications submitted too close to conference travel may not be funded if there
is not enough time for the approval and travel authorization process. If you have
questions about the SRF application deadline as it relates to your travel, please
contact Dr. Melodie Eichbauer (239-590-1245 / meichbauer@fgcu.edu).
If you have concerns about supporting your travel, please contact SISR (either Dr. Melodie Eichbauer at 239-590-1245 / meichbauer@fgcu.edu. or Santiago Luaces at 239-745-4596 / sluaces@fgcu.edu). We are here and want to help.
If multiple students from the same program/department are presenting at the conference
as first authors on multiple projects, do not submit an SRF application but contact
SISR directly.
