Are you currently working on research, scholarship or creative activity and looking for funding to help you take your project to the next level? Are you curious about different aspects of the research process and looking to learn more? Would you value more connection and community with fellow student researchers at USM? The Graduate Research Opportunity Program (GRO) is here to help with all of that and more.
We offer grants of up to $1,000 to students in all research disciplines. New this year, we will host workshops to help you learn more about key aspects of research like publishing, presenting, grant writing and more.
We are now accepting grant applications on a rolling basis for the 2023-2024 academic year.
