Fairmont State University was awarded the STaR SURE Grant to help students gain experience in hands-on long-term undergraduate research starting Spring 2024! We are accepting 11 students annually to conduct research in STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, and math) during their Spring and Fall semesters. Students will earn a stipend of $2,000, join our STEM community, and present their research at scientific meetings.
This experience is targeting Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors. Graduating seniors may apply and be accepted under special circumstances. Explore our research opportunities and participating faculty Providing substantive research experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields to undergraduate students is a crucial step in preparing the next generation of STEM researchers and faculty.
Undergraduates attending West Virginia colleges and universities have limited opportunities to engage in STEM research, and this lack of opportunity results in fewer students pursuing graduate study and careers in STEM fields.
To address this lack of opportunity, West Virginia Science, Technology and Research (STaR) created the Summer/Semester Undergraduate Research Experience Program (SURE) to help colleges and universities in West Virginia provide research experiences to undergraduates in STEM fields.
Eligible undergraduates should be substantially involved in on-going research programs at the home institution, other institutions of higher education, or private and federal research organizations. This funding opportunity is sponsored by the WV STaR division and the WV Higher Education Requirements of Awarded Students Conduct meaningful undergraduate research with their research mentor.

The full ASPECT NOFO (DE-FOA-0003647) posted September 4, 2026, eleven days later than the Notice of Intent predicted. The real document splits $58 million across two topic areas with anticipated award counts of 0-7 and 0-3, a cost share that jumps from 20 percent to 50 percent mid-project, a mandatory five-page concept paper due October 9, and a university eligibility restriction that decides team structure before anyone writes a word.
Read articleThe Humana Foundation's first 2026 slate funded 13 nonprofits and five university research teams around senior and veteran emotional health, with awards from $150,000 to $3 million concentrated in Texas, Florida, and Kentucky. A second health equity slate is planned for fall 2026. Here is what the portfolio structure reveals about how this funder decides, and how aging-services and behavioral health organizations should position.
Read articleThe Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office's University Training and Research program funds coal, oil and gas, and geothermal R&D at U.S. colleges and universities — but every proposal must include a non-academic partner and must build training modules that outlive the award. The LOI deadline is October 1, 2026, with full applications 15 days later. Here is what that compressed window means and why the workforce framing changes what a competitive proposal looks like.
