<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I got the letter too, but not the “enhanced” one. In any case, does anyone have any idea as to what constitutes “research”? I was thinking of proposing a robotics camp for elementary-age kids, since they say “service learning” is okay, but I’m not sure whether that’s research-y or innovative enough.</p>
<p>What are your grant proposals about?</p>
<p>Mine says March 16? What is the deadline?!</p>
<p>Do you have to be nominated or can an accepted student self-nominate? If so, what is the application deadline? Thank you!</p>
<p>Student must receive an invitation with their acceptance to apply for a RIG. </p>
<p>However, even if a student doesn’t receive a RIG, there are other options for getting summer research funded through the Office of Undergraduate Research. Additionally, most (all?) departments have their own summer grant programs. </p>
<p>The Office of Undergraduate Research is an invaluable resource for students:</p>

<p>Thanks for the good information, WOWM!</p>
<p>when will we be notified if we got it or not?</p>
<p>IIRC, D2 got her award notification in mid April.</p>
Does anybody know if you have to commit to Rochester before you apply for the extended grant? I’m not 100% sure I’ll know for sure if I’m ready to commit by April 13th which I think is what the letter said was the deadline for the extended application.
