GPSC Awards 13 Research Grants for the Spring Semester

The GPSC Research Council is pleased to announce and congratulate the recipients of the Spring 2021 GPSC Research Grants.

The grants are made possible in part through the generous donation of funds by the Office of Research and Innovation and are the result of a multiyear collaboration between that office and GPSC. Each grant is $1,500 and was created to assist a graduate student in any aspect of their research. They are biannually awarded and open to applicants each spring and fall semester.
