DESCRIPTION
The Graduate Student Council is offering 10 MOP research grants at $300 a piece to be used towards the purchase
of materials necessary for the completion of a specific research project or thesis/final defense
These grants can be used toward the purchase of materials that can be classified as consumables (i.e., items that
are used up or worn out by use) and to pay for procedures such as laboratory tests. The funds cannot be used
towards the purchase of materials considered as personal items or that must be entered into University inventory
and cannot be used to pay a stipend, salary, or to compensate participants. These grants are reimbursement only
and all purchases are subject to approval by the Student Government Finance Office.

THE MOP RESEARCH GRANT APPLICATION PACKET INCLUDES:
- A completed Graduate Student Council MOP Research Grant application.
- A one page abstract describing your research and methodology written to the level of a
layperson.

supplier.
- A brief budget justification that explains the importance and necessity of the
materials for completion of your research.
- A written statement explaining how you will share the results of your research with
the University. MOP grants are funded by A&S fees, and therefore all recipients are

- The applications will go through a three step review process:

your work applies. If you have any suggestions as to anyone who would
fit this description and is not your research advisor, please list their
names on the application form.
