The Mortenson Center in Global Engineering is excited to support students enrolled in the Global Engineering Graduate Certificate program in conducting research for their Global Engineering-related MS thesis or PhD dissertation.  Students must have completed at least 18 graduate credit hours in their current degree program to be eligible for funding.  Students in joint BS/MS programs may apply for a grant if they have completed 18 graduate credit hours after being admitted to graduate status.

All proposals that involve the use of human subjects must be approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) before an award can be made.  If you are in the process of receiving approval when you apply, you must state that in the application and notify the Mortenson Center staff once you have the approval.  Students whose human research has been approved must include their IRB protocol number on the application form.
