Research In Action Grants 

John Martinson Honors College’s “Research in Action” Grants are intended to support JMHC students pursuing their scholarly projects. Students in good standing may request funds up to $1000 to support research travel, the purchase of research supplies, or for research dissemination (e.g., participation at academic conferences). To be eligible, students must have a faculty-mentored research or creative arts project that qualifies as a scholarly project. However, students do not need to have an approved scholarly project proposal to apply for the grant.

Students may request funding for reimbursement of expenses already incurred, though we cannot guarantee that a grant will be made in these cases. Students with questions about “Research in Action” Grants may contact the Director of Undergraduate Research, Dr. Chaonan Liu, at liu2313@purdue.edu .
