The Center for Future Work Places and Practices (CFWPP) is offering the inaugural Future of Work Student Summer Research Grant. Both undergraduate and graduate students at Virginia Tech are eligible for the research grant. 

Interested students should identify and work with an affiliated CFWPP faculty member to develop a research project that can be completed over the summer. The research projects should align with the four research focus areas of CFWPP: (1)  Workforce development, (2) Health in the workplace, (3) Responsible technologies at work, and (4) Sustainable work.

Selected students will be affiliated with CFWPP and expected to give a presentation on their research projects at the start of the fall semester. They will receive a $500 award and a certificate of completion at the end of the project. The faculty supervisors will also receive $500 that will be paid into research.

Submission deadline is 5 p.m. May 24. This scholarship is generously supported by Professors Lucy Qiu and David Wang.
