Graduate Research: Students, Donors, Projects

GUSH funding has been developed and financed by the Graduate Student Assembly, in collaboration with the Graduate Support Programs Office and the Provost's Office. GuSH funding is intended to help graduate students reach their full potential through the graduate work they do at CMU. These awards, for $500 each, are to be used against costs incurred in the completion of research required for a graduate degree at Carnegie Mellon. These funds are intended to be utilized by students whose personal or departmental resources have been exhausted. GuSH awards allow students to continue or complete projects toward their degree. Approximately 40 awards will be given out each academic year. Eligibility and evaluation criteria are outlined on the GPO Web page. Application for these funds is also online at http://education.andrew.cmu.edu/graduateprograms/gush_application.php

Ford Motor Company grants are awarded to students whose research is related to automotive or environmental issues. Research may focus on traditional fields of study (engineering, sciences, economics, etc.) or may be interdisciplinary (Engineering and Public Policy, Heinz, Social and Decision Sciences, etc.). Funded research may be a part of a larger research project in an existing lab or may be a product of independent research. Grants are awarded competitively based on proposals submitted by students. Requests for funding will be considered for a total of $500-$1,000. A maximum of $1,000 will be awarded per quarter. Participants in a project that receives funding are required to make a presentation and supply a final report to Ford Motor Company's Carnegie Mellon Campus Relations Team at the completion of the funded research. All presentations will be made on the Carnegie Mellon campus.Below is a list of the GuSH/Ford Program's generous donors, talented graduate students, and the research projects on which they collaborated, during the academic year 2007-2008.
