DIMACS Graduate Student Awards Page - Student-Initiated Research Projects
Local Graduate Students (Rutgers and Princeton) are encouraged to
propose student initiated projects and apply for funding.
Applications for projects or jobs you come up with should indicate an
activity of DIMACS
to which you would like to tie your project, for
example one of the special foci or one of the educational programs at
the center, or indicate why you think DIMACS and you will benefit from
the project or job you propose. We usually announce competitions for these projects in November (for December/January projects) and April (for Summer projects). Funds available will support a research project by providing modest pay or books or software.
If you have any questions about this program, please contact Isha Deen-Cole at DIMACS
