Project Supply Grants
The Office of Undergraduate Research through the Division of Academic & Student Affairs will provide funding to support your project. This funding, known as a Project Supply Grant, are open to all disciplines for students pursuing undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activities.
View the table below for award cycles and specifics. You must be a degree-seeking undergraduate student at NC State to apply and cannot graduate before the end of the award term of application.
At the bottom of the page, find the submission space.
If you are a student who has not attended a proposal help session, you MUST attend a proposal help session to submit/have your proposal read (i.e., attend before you submit). Once you have attended a proposal help session, you do not need to do so again in your undergraduate tenure (unless you are so inclined or policies change).
Upcoming Proposal Help Sessions
The OUR provides help sessions on writing your proposals and understanding requirements associated with being funded. Students must attend the duration of the session (e.g., coming in at 9:30 for a 9:00-10:00 session does not meet requirements for attending).
Proposal Help sessions do NOT count as seminars for OUR professional development requirements.

- Click submit
Your mentor will receive an email with a link, giving them access to your proposal and requesting they complete 3-4 questions regarding their support for your project.
Prior to submitting an application, you are required to attend a help session in order to obtain feedback on the process and your proposal in order to support your chance of being funded.
Funding Obligations
Students who receive project grants and their mentor(s) are required to sign a contract outlining the following obligations:
- Appropriate Expenses – funds will be spent according to the chart above and used for research purposes within the funding period
- Unused Funds – any unused funds must be returned to OUR
- Revised Budget – if changes from the project proposal occur, you MUST notify the OUR before purchases are made
- Revised Project – just like any other funding, the project in your proposal that was awarded funding is the agreed upon project. You should not be making changes, but if do, you MUST notify the OUR before they occur
- Submission of a Final Report Survey – a link is provided to all award recipients toward the end of the award period with a survey (includes questions about the experience and a final budget)
- Project Presentation – you must present your work at one of the following (based on semester of funding):
- NC State Spring Undergraduate Research & Creativity Symposium (April)
- NC State Summer Undergraduate Research & Creativity Symposium (July/August)
- State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research & Creativity Symposium (required for fall graduates)
- Professional Development Experience – you must attend an OUR Seminar in the awarded semester and submit a report.
- Supplies, materials, technology – purchased items are property of NC State and must be returned to the department/entity at the end of the awarding period
- If you are working on a team, all team members must complete each requirement.
- Signing the grant contract is an agreement with the OUR, mentor, and mentee(s) that the project awarded will be completed as indicated within the funding period. The approved project and budget will be completed and used within the funding period. Any changes MUST be approved by the OUR prior to their start or a purchase.
Students are also required to sign a statement indicating additional sources of project funding. In some instances, this may not be permitted. Students enrolled in an REU cannot receive project funding. Summer grants are paid to students and will not be paid to mentors/PIs.
In addition to presenting at NC State symposia, students are encouraged to publish in a professional journal and/or present at:
- State of NC Undergraduate Research & Creativity Symposium (SNCURCS) in November/December
- National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) in April
- A disciplinary conference held nationally or internationally
Selection of Grant Recipients
- Proposals are scored by reviewers appointed by the OUR and may include those in the proposal discipline or outside of the discipline
- Scores are provided based on a pre-defined rubric with assigned points. Click here for the Project Supply Grant Scoring Rubric
- These scores, along with any associated comments, are then considered within and across all colleges
- OUR prioritizes funding as many proposals as possible during each grant cycle
- Applicants are notified approximately one month after the proposal deadline
- Students already receiving funding from OUR are not eligible for additional funding during the same semester(s)
F.A.Q.s
Do I have to complete a project from initial concept to dissemination to receive a grant?
No! Project funding is provided for a semester. In many cases, it is not feasible to complete a project from initial idea to dissemination. Be clear in your timeline what you plan to finish — this could be the literature review portion, a pilot study, one experiment in a series of experiments within a study, etc. — and support/motivate your work and the greater study with all of the knowledge you have or what you can predict based on previous knowledge. You can also indicate how your work would progress over time.
I’m planning to conduct my research while studying abroad. Can I still apply for an award?
Yes! Please contact OUR prior to submitting your application so we can discuss which expenses are allowable.
If I’m working on a team, can we get more funding?
Unfortunately no, teams have the same maximum funding as individuals.
I wasn’t able to work on my project during the time I received the grant. Can I keep the grant and work on the project next semester?
No, this is not possible. As outlined in your contract, you must utilize the grant during the time period you received it. If you do not, you are expected to return the grant to OUR. We encourage you to re-apply for funding.
Why can I only get $500 in the summer if I’m enrolled full-time in classes?
This rule is in alignment with our grants offered during the academic year, which are a maximum of $500 and have the requirement that students be enrolled in courses. OUR will verify enrollment status prior to grant decisions. If you are taking fewer than 6 credits, you are considered a part-time student and are therefore eligible for a maximum of $2,000.
Will my grant impact my financial aid?
No, your grant will not impact your financial aid. When OUR distributes funding to students, it is sent through the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OFSA). OFSA will verify the grant is not intended as salary/stipend and will then process the grant for payment.
Will my grant be reported on my 1099 or W-2?
No, your grant will not be reported. This does not mean these payments are not taxable. It simply means the university does not have a reporting or withholding requirement. In most cases, the IRS will consider these “non-qualified scholarship” payments which are taxable according to the IRS. Grant recipients should refer to IRS Publication 970 and the Form 1040 instructions. For further information on what amount is reportable and how to report it when filing your tax return, students should contact a tax professional.
