The SCF allocates funds to the Graduate College and the Office of Fellowships, Opportunities and Undergraduate Research (FOUR) which manage research project proposals and awards through a separate process. Each announces their call for proposals in the early spring and announces decisions in late spring for summer awards. Research projects do not have to be specific to campus but must address sustainability.
