Funding Opportunities There are many ways to get funding for your research. Many professors are able to provide supplies and equipment through their research funding, and some are able to hire students as part-time lab employees.
Other programs across campus are able to provide a stipend to student researchers for summer or academic year research. Check out each of the programs on the Research Programs page to see if they provide funding.
More money can sometimes be obtained through a grant or fellowship. Check our Scholarships page frequently for current fellowships. Below is a partial listing of organizations that may provide grant funding. Good luck!
2008-09 Undergraduate and Graduate Fellowship
http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/sci-scholars_fellows.html
April 7th, 2008 5pm DEADLINE
The Greater Good Science Center offers annual fellowships to UC Berkeley Undergraduate and Graduate students whose work relates to our mission. The fellowship program aims to attract scholars from across a broad spectrum of academic disciplines, with a particular focus on the social-behavioral sciences.
We generally support research that responds to one or more of the following themes: * The biological underpinnings of prosocial emotion. Examples of research in this arena would address questions such as: Is there a reward system in the brain that is involved with the experience of pro-social emotion, distinct from reward systems involved in sensory pleasure? What
physiological processes are involved in attachment-related processes, such as caregiving, altruism, monogamy, and friendship? * The context and cultivation of social well-being. For example, how do children and young adults learn to be compassionate and caring individuals—in school, at home, and in other social contexts? What qualities of human institutions (e.g., families, neighborhoods, schools, churches, laws) foster social well-being? What are the childhood trends in social well-being over the last 35 to 40 years? How do people with different ethnic, religious, or class backgrounds, different social perspectives, different cultural values or different mental health histories peacefully co-exist? Questions?
