New Application Procedures

In order to take the Tutorials, send your email address to andersoncs2@longwood.edu with the subject line “Pre-Application Tutorials” and we will add you to the Canvas site, where you will see the three modules for Tutorials. Students who were previously awarded a research or travel grant (provisional awards do not count) are not required to complete the Tutorials. If you are unsure, please contact OSR. Applications from students who have not completed the tutorial will not be accepted.
- For students conducting human subject or animal research, you must have your IRB or IACUC application approved BEFORE applying for funding, as you will have to provide documentation of approval.
