Academic Year Funding is part of Brandeis University’s Provost’s Undergraduate Research Fund, which supports undergraduate research and creative scholarship during academic semesters and the summer. This funding opportunity focuses on non-thesis projects carried out during the fall and spring semesters. Projects may be in any discipline, including the creative arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and interdisciplinary fields.
The program helps cover the practical expenses of conducting research or creative work. Eligible costs may include research supplies, equipment, compensation for interviewees on IRB-approved projects, and expenses associated with research at an off-campus site. Services provided by a business vendor may also be eligible. Funding decisions give weight to the applicant’s project summary and faculty recommendation.
