A: All three major spending areas (an undergraduate research assistant, research incentives, and SoTL conference engagement) are expected and strongly advised for Fellows. Fellows must offer a persuasive argument if their proposed budget drastically reduces or eliminates any of these three categories. Some changes to the budget will be considered if warranted based on the particular design of the proposed research study. For example, a proposed research project that only uses secondary analysis of available data with no human subjects may be allowed to cut the research incentives line item.
