Beginning with the nineteenth annual award year (2021), the “Magnus the Good” Collaborative Fellowship Awards will be managed by the CURI (Collaborative Undergraduate Research & Inquiry) office . Open to projects from any discipline or combination of disciplines, Magnus the Good Awards are intended to encourage student and faculty collaboration. One or more awards of up to $3000 each will be granted, to support collaborative, student-faculty projects during the 2021-22 academic year.
The selection committee seeks to award projects that are built around actual collaborative work between students and faculty rather than student work supervised by a faculty member, or faculty work in which the student assists.
Work on projects may begin as early as June 2021, but must be completed by May 1, 2022.
Application : Students and faculty apply for a Magnus the Good Collaborative Fellowship as a team. Applications should include a description of the research or activity envisioned, a total budget for the project specifying how an award of up to $3000 would be used, the projected outcome of the project, and a plan for public presentation or dissemination of project outcomes.
Each proposal should include
- the names of the proposers;
- the title of the proposed project;
- a full description of the project, as well as an abstract that can be used for announcements and other public uses;
- a total budget for the project, including the place of a Magnus the Good award in the project budget;
- Note: If the project will receive additional funding from other sources, the proposal should include an explanation of how all funds will be allocated in the project budget.
- a statement from each collaborator about their interest in and expected contribution to the project and how the project fits into their other interests and academic careers;
- a statement of how the results of the project will be shared with the public.
Selection : The award will be made by a committee convened by the CURI director.
