C. Glenn Barber Fund

This fund is intended to foster mentored student-based research involving amino acids and their chemistry which includes, but is not restricted to molecular interactions between amino acids, peptides, proteins, protein-protein interactions or their encoding nucleic acids. The intent is to provide student stipends (salary, benefits, tuition and fees) during the training interval leading to a master's (2 years) or doctoral (3 years) degree. It is assumed that the prospective student shall accomplish his/her research with a mentor involved in amino acid or related research and that laboratory facilities, equipment and other expenses shall be provided by the mentor to the student.

Applications to the Barber Fund will be evaluated on not only the quality of the prospective student, but also the quality of the proposed research project and mentor. It is expected that the student will play a major role in the writing of this application.

The standard college format for research proposals is not used for this submission. Instead, there is a separate C. Glenn Barber Fund Intramural Application and Template.

The following two links contain the application instructions and template to be used to submit a proposal to the Barber Fund.
