 Undergraduate Summer
Research Grant
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Each year the Killgore Research Committee requests proposals for Undergraduate Summer Research grants. Generally, awards are made in the amount of $3,500 or less and are available for all disciplines. Faculty should notify students of this opportunity.
Eligibility: Undergraduate Summer Research grants are restricted to WTAMU students who are in good standing at the time of the project and are being advised in their research by a WTAMU faculty member. Student proposals will not be considered without a faculty sponsor.
Proposals must follow the guidelines to be considered for funding. The guidelines and required forms used in 2011 can be found below. Some changes may be made for the 2012 grant applications. 2011 Awardees Elizabeth Capt - Biology - Gender Specific Introgressive Hybridization of Mule and White Tailed Deer John Cox - Mechanical Engineering - Examination of Density Effects on Antimicrobial Nanostructured Metal Emily Crohare - Sports and Exercise Science - The Effect of Quercetin Supplementation on the Level of Inflammatory Markers and Overall Quality of Life Sara Davis - Fine Arts-Sculpture - The Surveyor and the Surveyed-A Research of Identity Matt Dolezal - Mechanical Engineering - Coating Effects on High Explosive Morphology, Density, and Performance Mark Dubina - Biology - The Effectiveness of Consumer Model Toothbrush Sanitizers Ashley Fisher - Art History - Popular Art Histories in the American West, 1880-1920 Christian Gulde - Chemistry-Biology - Development of a Fiber Optic Sensor for Selectively Detecting Ethanol in Organic Media Taehee Jung - Mechanical Engineering - Development of Moment Distribution Factor for a Long-Span Bridge Andrew Kirschbaum - Mechanical Engineering - Thermoelectric Cooling of Parked Vehicles with Solar Energy Steffen Kurhan - Computer Science - Development of Ipad-like Technology for Off-Clinic Therapies in Communication Disorders Escal R.
