The Department of History at Brown offers three competitive undergraduate research funding opportunities: the Abbott Gleason Research Development Fund (RDF), the Abbott Gleason Short-Term Research Stipend (SRS), and the Abbott Gleason Undergraduate Research Fellowship (UF). Awards may be used to defray expenses related to:
- daily expenses (meals, local transportation, other incidentals)
- travel to archives and collections (local and long-distance transportation, lodging)
- book purchases
- access to databases that Brown does not already buy access to (for example, FamilySearch.org)
- translation, interpreters and language support
- photocopies or other reproduction of materials
- admission fees for museum or public history tours
Abbott Gleason funds cannot be used to pay for office supplies, electronic equipment, or software. Students who have questions about what expenses are eligible should reach out to the Director of the Honors Program.
