NNLSO Research Grant Program

If you have ever had the desire to find the answer to a heretofore unanswerable question, please consider applying for a NNLSO Research grant.

The NNLSO Research Grant Program provides funds to members of the organization to assist NNLSO and the law school community in gaining needed quantifiable information that can be used to inform those who make significant decisions regarding legal education.

Research grants are intended to help recipients cover the direct costs of research projects, including temporary assistance, printing, postage, mainframe computer time and preparation of papers and reports. Grants are not intended to provide a salary or stipend for the grant recipient. Grants are not awarded for program start-up expenses for a particular law school, doctrinal studies, or projects that involve experimental activities. Proposals will be judged on the importance of the questions addressed and the quality of the research designs. Grants will range from $250 - $1,000.

NNLSO reserves the right to withhold project funding if progress reports are not submitted on time. Project milestones and executive summaries may be posted on the NNLSO website. Where appropriate, NNLSO may request that authors adapt their work for publication in the NNLSO Journal. Recipients are also asked to acknowledge NNLSO's support of their projects in all written and oral presentations.
