Established in 2016, the Apprentice Grant Program is a collaboration between the Faculty Development and Undergraduate Research Programs. The grant program provides a valuable experience for both students and faculty. Students work directly on faculty research projects, allowing them to see the professional side of academia, conduct research, and contribute to the larger discourse on a specific topic. Faculty, in turn, get valuable help collecting and analyzing data, enabling them to advance research projects and inject new material into the classroom. 14
