Based at the University of South Carolina, the National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition works to support and advance efforts to improve student learning and transitions into and through higher education.

The center’s Paul P. Fidler Research Grant is designed to encourage the development and dissemination of knowledge that has the potential to improve the experiences of college students in transition. The grant competition is open to faculty, staff, and graduate students who plan to conduct research on issues of college student transitions. Cross-institutional research teams are encouraged to apply.

The grant award includes a cash stipend of $5,000; travel to the Eighteenth National Conference on Students in Transition (November 2011), at which the award will be presented; travel to the Nineteenth National Conference on Students in Transition (November 2012), at which the winner’s research findings will be reported; award announcement on the National Resource Center Web page and in print publications; and priority consideration for publication by the National Resource Center.

Complete program guidelines and the application form are available at the National Resource Center Web site.
