Tier 1 or Tier 2

SRPD Funding Priorities

SRPD requests are not guaranteed full funding. Students may provide evidence of funding outside of SRPD for increased consideration. SRPD will prioritize applications using the following tiered system when funds are below 50%:

Tier 1 – Productive Participation in Professional Development

First priority requests include requests related to “productive participation” (producing information) such as engaging in or sharing the results of student research or creative projects, and professional development opportunities such as internships. Through these opportunities, students are producing and sharing knowledge and/or actively contributing to their fields.

Research: Purchase of Protection of Human Research Participation (PHRP) certification costs, travel to/from a research site, purchase of equipment or supplies not available through WNMU, and conference travel expenses to present original work/research
Creative Projects: Material expenses (e.g., venue or equipment rental, costumes, photocopying of scripts or scores) associated with producing or sharing creative projects (e.g., art exhibits, films, stage productions, or concerts)
Internship Participation: Costs associated with internship participation (e.g., travel, housing, and food).

· Tier 2 – Receptive Participation in Professional Development

Second priority requests include requests in which a student proposes access to an event or materials for learning purposes or “receptive participation” (receiving information) in professional development opportunities. Through these opportunities, students are receiving knowledge from their fields.

Registration and travel expenses for virtual or off-campus educational programs, regional/national conferences, or workshops for learning purposes.
Professional organization membership fees (unrelated to conference attendance)
Certifications
