Announcing Faculty-Student Research Award (FSRA) AY2022-2023

The Graduate School invites applications for the Faculty-Student Research Award. Full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty members and full-time professional track faculty who advise and mentor graduate students at the University of Maryland at College Park are eligible to apply.

The wide variety of faculty research, scholarship, and creative projects on campus provide unique opportunities to mentor and support graduate students. The Faculty-Student Research Award provides $10,000 to support a faculty project that directly involves graduate students. Proposals require a detailed description of the faculty-led project, an explanation of how graduate students will benefit, and a proposed budget.

FSRA complements the Independent Scholarship, Research, and Creativity Award (ISRCA) offered by the Office of the Provost and the Division of Research and replaces the former Research and Scholarship Awards (RASA) and Creative and Performing Arts Awards (CAPAA). Unlike FSRA, ISRCA has no requirement for graduate student involvement. Faculty may not apply for both the FSRA and ISRCA in the same academic year.
