ASB Graduate Student Grant-In-Aid Program
Year 3: Third and Final Announcement
Request for Letters of Intent
DEADLINE: OCTOBER 15, 1998
The ASB Graduate Student Grant-in-Aid Program is now in its second year
of operation. Three proposals from the first year of the GIA program were
funded in July, 1997. The proposal review process for the second year was
completed in June, 1998, and four applicants were notified shortly
thereafter that they will receive support from the program. We are now
ready to begin the proposal submission process for the third year of the GIA
program.
The purpose of the Graduate Student Grant-in-Aid Program is to aid
and encourage student members of ASB in pursuing biomechanics research by
offering a source of research funding. Awards, which will be distributed on
a competitive basis, are meant to offset the costs directly associated with
conducting the research. Funds may be used for small equipment items,
materials and supplies, and animal or subject costs, but cannot be used to
support travel costs or salaries. The Executive Board anticipates making
3-5 awards for the third funding period that will begin July 1, 1999. Award
amounts are expected to range from $500 to $2500 for a one-year period.
Students must be members of ASB or have a membership application pending no
later than October 15, 1998 to be eligible for an award. In addition,
expected graduation date should not be earlier than December, 1999.
A two-stage review process will be used. Interested students must
first submit a letter of intent that is postmarked no later than October
15,1998. Submissions by electronic mail (ASCII text) and fax will also be
accepted. The letter of intent should identify: 1) the significance of and
need for the research to be conducted, 2) specific aims and hypotheses to be
examined, and 3) a brief overview of the methods to be employed. The letter
of intent should not exceed two single-spaced pages. Page margins should
not be less than 2.5 cm and font size not less than 10 point.
Those who receive a favorable review at this stage will be invited to
submit a full research proposal by Monday, March 1, 1999. The funding cycle
will run from July 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000.
Letters of intent should be submitted to:
Philip E. Martin, Ph.D.
Chair, ASB Research Review Committee
Dept. of Exercise Science & Physical Education
Arizona State University
