Graduate Student Innovation Awards: CALL FOR PROPOSALS
The University of Washington School of Oceanography is pleased to announce a request for graduate student proposals to support research that enhances innovation and creativity in the School. A total of $10K is available to fund one-year projects to further the research potential of students. Up to $2K is available per student-led individual proposal; collaborative proposals that include more than one student will be scaled according to number of student participants. All students in or beyond their third year OR who have successfully defended their master’s research at UW Oceanography are eligible to apply. Students may be involved in one proposal only.
Proposals are limited to no more than 2 pages and should include 1) concept and motivation, 2) proposed work including enough technical details to allow evaluation, 3) timeline of activities, and 4) budget description and rationale for the requested funding and why funding is not available through other means. Proposals could include support for such things as supplies, development of a new instrument, a day of Barnes or Robertson ship time, or travel to a cruise opportunity or conference. A brief letter of support from the student’s advisor is required.
Those funded will be required to write a brief synopsis of the proposed research to be highlighted on the School web site. At the completion of the project, a synopsis of results will be similarly highlighted on the School web site.

Due date for proposal: March 15, 2013
Submit to: Su Tipple (tipple@u.washington.edu), subject line: Innovation Grant
Notice of funding: April 1, 2013
