Channing Briggs Small Research Grant

As a result of the success from the 100th Anniversary Campaign, the NASPA Foundation has re-opened the Channing Briggs Small Research Grants. These grants, up to $5,000, support the discovery of new knowledge, new applications of theory to practice, and innovation in the field of student affairs. The NASPA Foundation invites graduate students, student affairs professionals, faculty members, as well as reseach teams. At least one member of the research team must hold an active NASPA membership throughout the time of the grant.
