The intent of this program is to enable faculty or staff led student-focused opportunities that enhance research skills, provide novel opportunities for student engagement with research, develop technologies that can aid new instructional methods and\/or facilitate course-based research activities. Successful proposals will serve groups of students; proposals for individualized mentoring should be pursued through the Student Mentored Research Training Grant opportunity. Proposed activities should clearly align with one or more Degree Learning Outcomes associated with the academic program(s) being pursued by the target students.\u00a0 A specific focus of the Research-Education Opportunity grants program is to support the development and implementation of student-focused efforts that would otherwise be limited by material or instrumentation requirements.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>General Rules for Intramural Funding Opportunities <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This program is subject to overarching rules and guidelines in place for all intramural programs.
