It focuses on both the student’s general research experience and specific completed research projects.

Early graduate student researchers will be evaluated primarily on the scientific and practical significance of their research, as well as their other research-oriented activities.
The EGSRA funds may be used for direct research expenses (e.g., computer time, animal care, equipment, participant fees, incentives), software and/or conference travel; it may not be used for tuition, fees, or personal expenses.
Each recipient receives an award of $1,000. Up to three awards are given each year.
