More than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students have received over $13 million in research funding from Sigma Xi’s Grants in Aid of Research (GIAR) program since 1922. For many of these students, a GIAR award is the first grant that they receive for their research, boosting their confidence and their curriculum vitae.
Read stories below from recipients about how the grants transformed their research experiences, what they were able to achieve, and where they are now. As we celebrate the GIAR centennial in 2022, grant recipients are invited to submit their story to be featured in Sigma Xi's communication channels.
