Project Grants

Each semester, LSU Discover funds at least 10 undergraduate student research or creative projects. The purpose of these grants is to provide students a learning opportunity through participation in faculty-mentored projects. Students from any major are welcome to apply. With an LSU Discover Undergraduate Research Project Grant, currently enrolled, full-time LSU undergraduate students can receive funding for hourly wages, supplies, and travel related to an undergraduate research or creative project. Students must have an LSU employed faculty member serve as their supervisor and sign their time-sheets.

A list of the current semester's grant recipients and previously funded students are at the bottom of this page.

**Faculty mentors should email letters of support for renewal applications directly to lsudiscover@lsu.edu

Note: Your entire application will be scored by the selection committee using the Project Grant application scoring rubric

A word about the personal statement: There are no specific instructions for the personal statement so you are free to concentrate on any aspect of your life that you feel is relevant. This is your opportunity to share anything about yourself with the judges that might convince them that you are an excellent candidate for the funding. For example, you could discuss how this project contributes to your future goals (graduate school or workforce).  You may want to explain how your previous educational and research experiences have prepared you for this project.  Or you may want to explain any financial hardships that could be alleviated by the grant.  You could even discuss all of these things. There’s no “right way” to write the personal essay for this grant.  The personal statement is not scored but gives the judges a better sense of who you are as a student researcher beyond your project proposal and transcript.

You must attach a project proposal to your online application.  Your entire proposal must be reviewed and approved by your faculty mentor before submitting your application.
 
Proposal Style:

Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1-inch margins, full name on right corner header of each page, and double-spaced.  Can be uploaded as a Word Doc or PDF.
 
Required Elements of the Project Proposal:

  1. Cover Page
    • Title
    • Student full name
    • Student major
    • Semester in which research will be conducted
    • Name, title, and department of faculty mentor(s)
  2. Project Narrative
    • Provide a 500-1500 word description of the project using the following outline.  Remember to write your proposal so that even a non-specialist can understand the purpose of your research.
    • Introduction – This section should provide the justification for the proposed project.  You should explain how your research contributes to the broader context of your discipline.
    • Goals, Objectives, Hypothesis or Study Question – This section should discuss what you plan to accomplish.
    • Methods – Describe how you plan to collect and analyze your data.
    • Budget Justification and Resources – In this section, you must explain your budget requests (hourly wages, supplies, etc.).  Also, you should explain what, if any, supplies, software, equipment, lab space, or other resources will be provided by other funding sources (such as your mentor or with other funding).  
    • Broader Impacts – Briefly discuss
      • The impact or benefit of your project on your discipline
      • The impact or benefit of your project on society
  3. Literature Cited
    • You must include citations to support your project narrative.  Use whichever citation style is expected in your discipline.
  4. Budget

Note: Your proposal will be scored using this scoring rubric: Project Grant Scoring Rubric

Recommendation: Your proposal will also be scored on the quality of the writing so we recommend that you make an appointment with CxC to review your proposal before submitting.  Click here to make an appointment with CxC.

  • Application is reviewed by an LSU Discover staff member for completeness.
  • Completed applications are sent to LSU faculty judges for review. Each proposal is reviewed by 2-3 faculty members, at least one with expertise in the student’s discipline and one from our Faculty Advisory Board. Judges will remain anonymous.
  • Each faculty judge uses the Research Grant application scoring rubric to evaluate the student application.
  • Around 4-6 weeks after the application deadline, all student applicants will be notified.
  • Students whose applications have been accepted must reply to our emails in a timely fashion.
