Fall 2008 PinS Application

Partners in Scholarship Application

PinS provides a unique opportunity for you to collaborate on a project with a faculty member. In order to complete the application, work with your faculty partner and develop a detailed plan for your project. The PINS Committee reviews applications at the end of each quarter and awards funds to deserving projects.

While most partnerships involve one-to-one work with a faculty member, you can choose to work with faculty from more than one discipline or with several students. In the event of a multiple student project, each student must submit an application stating his/her personal contribution to the project and is eligible to receive $1500.

Your application should include:

a description of your project including hypothesis and methodology
your background and preparation to complete the project
an explanation of why the project has scholarly value
a detailed budget outlining all the expenses for which you seek funding
a letter of endorsement from your faculty partner
a current transcript (an APR or from myweb)

Please include the application and all of the above in a single Word document and email it to urc@du.edu.

Does your proposed project involve human subjects?

If your project involves human subjects (this includes surveys, interviews, observation of public behavior, etc.) you must complete and submit an "Application to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the Protection of Human Subjects" form. Complete the IRB form in consultation with your faculty partner and submit it to the IRB when you submit your PINS application. IRB approval can take time. If your project is selected for PINS, you will not be able to start your project until you receive IRB approval.
