The ability to write a successful grant proposal is a critical skill for success in many careers — it demonstrates logical thinking, clear writing, and an understanding of the research field. Receiving a nationally funded fellowship provides external evidence that a student has successfully acquired these skills.
CBTS has established an incentive plan designed to encourage submission of applications from students enrolled in disciplines in which individual fellowships are available. One measure of graduate research training success is the number of external federal fellowships awarded to students. Students who apply for extramural funding of substantial support are eligible for a (one time) $500 award. Complete the Graduate Student Research Fellowship Incentive application form.
CBTS has also created a Dean’s Fellowship Incentive Award of $1,000 for those students whose fellowship grants are funded. Those funded students will also be recognized each year at the CBTS Annual Awards Ceremony to foster an appreciation for and an expectation of student success.
