Data Support and Resources
Small Grant Funding
For faculty and graduate students, we offer a limited number of small research grants annually, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. The purpose of the grants is to incentivize the use of FFCWS data.
Undergraduate Paper Award
For undergraduates using the data in independent research projects or senior theses, we invite students to submit their completed papers by May 30th of each year for an annual paper competition. One winner will be selected annually and be awarded a monetary prize of $500.
