A brief description of the institution’s program(s) to encourage student research in sustainability:
The Student Research Fund (SRF) will provide undergraduate and graduate students with funds to support expenses incurred during the performance of, or in reporting the results of, their independent research. To be eligible for support from the SRF, a student must be enrolled for a credit-bearing experience at UW-SP when applying for the grant and conducting the research, which typically is a special topics or independent study research class under the direction of a faculty mentor.
