Public Service Research Program Grants

The Public Service Research Program (PSRP) is for all undergraduate students who would like to connect public service with their academic work/research interests through a senior thesis. The year-long program is intended to support students in developing a thesis that meets high standards of academic rigor and makes the results of the thesis useful to a specific community or organization, or available for public interest.

The students, faculty, and staff who are involved will form an interdisciplinary learning community that provides support and diverse perspectives, while sharing the common goal of conducting outstanding academic research and exploring ways to provide something of value to the community. Students in this program will choose from a list of current community-based research needs or design a thesis project of their own.
