Channing Briggs Small Research Grant

The NASPA Foundation supports the discovery of new knowledge through research and innovation in the field of student affairs. This is achieved through a continued commitment to funding selected proposals as submitted annual to the Foundation.  Applications for the Channing Briggs Small Grants will open April 1 and close July 1 of each year as approved by the Foundation Board. These are small grants in the amount of $5,000 or less for research. 

The Channing Briggs Small Research Grant is on hiatus. The program is currently under strategic review by the NASPA Foundation Board. Applications are not being accepted.
