Award amount:
Up to $30,000 to be distributed amongst selected awardees
Description
These supplemental funds are intended to provide research support to WRF-Hall Fellowship awardees. The fellowships are intended to provide extraordinary educational opportunities for Biology Graduate students. Such opportunities may come from rotating through labs outside Biology or the UW to learn new approaches to answering questions. Opportunities may be in the form of launching new, cross-discipline research projects, which foster creative, new ideas and generate new grants. New research projects with high IP potential are considered particularly exceptional. Opportunities also include working at outside institutions, which are considered exceptional, because they provide the fellowship recipient with experience working outside academia, and strengthen ties between Biology and our regional partners. The endowment supporting this fellowship was established in 2008 by the Washington Research Foundation and the UW Department of Biology.
Eligibility
Biology Graduate students with proposals for exceptional educational opportunities. Applications will be considered regardless of financial need. Though some of these funds are restricted to students who demonstrate financial need as determined by the UW Office of Financial Aid (based on your FAFSA submission). If this applies to you, indicate so on your application.
