Collaborative Research Opportunities

The John S. Toll Fellows

Student/faculty collaborative research projects supported by research grants are available for academic credit during the summer months in departments in the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. At the conclusion of the summer, student researchers present their findings at a Summer Research Day and in the fall at the Student Academic Showcase. (See Biology, Chemistry, Physics above).

Faculty-Student Summer Collaborations in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences

Supported by the Hodson Trust, Washington College faculty in the humanities, arts, and social sciences conduct collaborative research or creative projects with qualified Washington College students during the summer. Funding may cover travel, housing, equipment, and/or stipends.

Libby & Douglass Cater Society of Junior Fellows Seminar Grant

This program builds on the work of the Libby & Douglass Cater Society of Junior Fellows by providing funding for faculty members who engage in highly interactive, face-to-face work on research and other creative and/or scholarly endeavors outside of the classroom setting. The program provides support to faculty, and the students who collaborate with them, in the form of stipends and funds to offset costs associated with travel and/or materials. Projects may include archival research, lab research, field research, or creative/academic writing for presentation, exhibition, performance or publication.
