One of the objectives of the CIS is to facilitate communication among faculty and students from different disciplines and foster integrative interactions. During the undergraduate summer research experience, we offer micro-grants as part of the Research Pod program. These grants are available to fund:
- Food: either snacks used across recurring meetings or a one-time event. In either case, the amount provided is determined by the number of research groups and persons included.
- Non-food: branded products such as shirts or stickers, transportation for an off-campus lecture or meeting, limited subscriptions to software or a publication, or similar items that service the collaboration. These grants will be up to $500 and will be awarded based on the proposal.
Please complete this form to submit your proposal. The deadline to apply is Friday, May 1, 2026 at 5:00pm. New and existing pods are encouraged to apply! Pods will be added to the webpage as they are approved and the coordinator will be provided funding information for food. Decisions for non-food awards will be made after the deadline. If you have any questions, please reach out to Anika (adane@wesleyan.edu).
