Student Grants

IGERT Fellows get an allowance for routine things, and can write "microgrants" (recruits, apprentices) and "minigrants" (artisans, craftspersons) for things that are not routine. 

Allowance (this amount will be set by the co-directors; you just see the coordinator to spend it). 

Microgrants (limited to about $1,000 per request)

•  support to attend a meeting in the U.S.
•  support for some very minor need that exercises creativity (use your allowance for routine things) 

Minigrants are limited to about $10,000 per request

• international meeting
• two-week visit to learn about or learn from another laboratory, anywhere in the world
• small, curiosity-driven research project independent from the main research
• request to support the main research (minigrants are the normal funding mechanism for materials)
• construct a device for dual use in research and K12 outreach/community service
