• Dr. Bishop and Dr. Cates have opportunities for grad students to pick up some work. I think Dr. Cates’ project has a stipend attached. Follow up with me if you’re interested.
• As mentioned in class, Lehigh University Forum is funding Student Research Grants “to support individual research projects furthering their education.” Hey–sounds like what you’re doing in this class, right? “Preference is given to undergraduates, but graduate students with meritorious projects outside their thesis work are also considered. The grants normally do not exceed $500 and usually are smaller, e.g., $100-200.” …”Unless specified in the proposal, research performed under a fall grant should be completed by the bbeginning of the spring semester.”
