MSKC Seed Grant Program
The MSKC Seed Grant Program provides support for research projects solving Military/Veteran issues through establishing and developing partnerships with stakeholders from Military/Veteran community organizations. The MSKC funds three projects on average per academic cycle, with proposal deadlines during the Spring semester. You can download this document to see this past Spring's call for proposals.
Illini Veterans- MSKC Student Research Award
The Student Veterans of America chapter at UIUC (Illini Veterans) collaborates with the MSKC to award the efforts of undergraduate and graduate students at UIUC who are either 1) student-veterans conducting any type of research or 2) non-veteran students conducting research with Military/Veteran populations. The purposes of this award are to both encourage student-veterans to participate in research and to highlight research activities centered on veterans and military-affiliated communities being conducted by Illinois students and through the CVC’s MSKC.
