Students Partnering with Faculty Summer Research Program (SpF)


Welcome to Kean University's Internal Research Programs Application Site


SUBMISSION PROCESS

Please note that a single application has to be submitted by each student-faculty team. The faculty researcher should establish the user account and submit the application on behalf of the research team, but it is expected that the student essays will be prepared by the students and submitted with the faculty researcher. Each team should include the leading faculty researcher and no fewer than two undergraduate or graduate students and no more than three students.

If two faculty members decide to join as co-PI’s on a given team, select the lead PI and enter his/her name in the main box and add the second name and contact in the “additional information” text box. Faculty stipends in this case are to be shared.

Joint projects entered separately are also encouraged; each application should make a convincing case as to the value of the research collaboration.

ACCESS TO YOUR APPLICATION: You may access your application as often as needed by clicking the "Save and Continue" button before logging out. When the “Submit” button is activated, you will then have read-only access to your online application.

SYSTEM TIME-OUT: The online application program will time-out after a period of inactivity. We recommend preparing the lengthier sections of the application, such as the proposal narrative, using word processing software and then copying and pasting the text into the appropriate sections of the online application. Please remember to click the "Save" button frequently.

SPECIAL GRAPHICS: If you need special graphics (equations, tables, etc.) included in your application, you may load such items onto your Website and provide the URL within your text as needed.

SUPPLEMENTARY DOCUMENTATION: Applicants may submit supplementary documentation, by sending one copy to the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs. We recommend that only materials deemed essential be submitted.
