Warden Application for Research Support

Graduate students in the Psychology Department at UNL may apply for research funding through Warden resources. Sources offer up to $500 per student per year, depending on the availability of funds. Certain budget items—such as payment for data entry or computer programming services—are not eligible for funding. Any equipment purchased becomes the property of the department or program that funded it. Note that Warden funds cannot be used for both travel and research in the same funding period (e.g., September–January). Once approved, research awards are posted directly to the student’s account. Warden funds support one conference per year (October 1–September 30) and are limited to first authors. Awards typically range from $225–$500, depending on available funding. For complete details, students should refer to the Warden Policies and the Graduate Student Handbook.
