The Summer Opportunities for Activities in Research and Scholarship (SOARS) grant supports intensive experiences in mentored research over the summer. The grant supports faculty mentors and student researchers.  

The Scholarship and Innovation Faculty Fellowship (SAIFF) serves to support new research, creative activity, program development, and other scholarly projects consistent with institutional, department, and individual goals that occurs during the summer. SAIFF funds are intended to provide a one-time infusion of funding (i.e. seed money) for projects that are directly connected to the applicant’s scholarship agenda and goals. 

Faculty interested in conducting research over the summer months ARE able to seek funding assistance with their own projects and offer research support opportunities to SPARK-eligible students (see link for details on eligibility).
