Center for First-Year Experience and Students and Transition Invites Applications for Research Projects

The National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition is accepting applications from research projects aimed at improving the experiences of college students transitioning into and through higher education.

Through its Paul P. Fidler Research grant program, the center will award a stipend of $5,000, plus travel to two national conferences, a presentation slot at a national conference, and priority consideration for publication, for a research project that supports and promotes research with the potential to have a national impact on student success. Topics may include but are not limited to underrepresented student populations, community colleges, the advising system, transfer and articulation, career development, and other issues related to college-student transitions.

To be eligible, applicants must be a faculty or staff member or a graduate student at an institution of higher education in the United States who plans to conduct research on issues related to college-student transitions.

See the National Resource Center website for complete program guidelines and application instructions.

DEADLINE: JULY 1, 2016
