Welcome to the Pursuit Blog. For information about Pursuit Research Grants, please follow the link to the ACU website where you can find information about the Pursuit Program. Follow this link:  Quality Enhancement Plan–Pursuit

Since Pursuit Research Grants are a part of our Research Literacy initiative for SACS, each component of the initiative must be assessed to determine its worth and value to the students, faculty, and University. Pursuit Research Fellows will submit the following documents at the end of their project’s funding (generally, in May of each year at the end of the fiscal year).

End of Project Reports:

Faculty Reports: When the project is complete at the end of the fiscal year on or before May 16, the faculty member must submit the two following documents as attachments to an email:

Faculty Assessment of Project

Grants Budget Report

Student Reports: All mentored students are responsible for two documents due on or before May 16:

1.  A research journal (blog) has been set up for each research project. For ideas on types of questions to consider look at the following link (but do not place your journal on the link):

Student Research Journal The link also includes questions to answer at the end of the project. The journal for each project is a blog in which the student researchers keep a log of their progress,  reflect upon their activities, and respond to End-of-Project Questions at the close of the project. Please do not place the journal responses on the Pursuit Blog.

2.  Student Self-Assessment of Project Report This is a Google form that asks you to evaluate the project.

Please contact the Pursuit Office for further details.

Pursuit funds two types of grants. There are Pursuit Research Grants and Pursuit Travel Grants.

Pursuit Research Grants

    The purpose of the competitive Pursuit Research Grants program is to enrich student learning, support faculty development, and enhance the quality and reputation of academic programs by providing funding to support student and faculty research, external research grants, and promote research presentation and publication. Funding may be used to conduct research or creative endeavors. Proposals must document faculty partnerships with student(s) in all phases.
  • Goals
    • Increase faculty mentoring of students in research and creative activities
    • Promote research publication and presentation
    • Increase student opportunities for research and creative expression
  • Funding
    Funding provides for faculty and students stipends to work together on projects, both scholarly and creative. Funding supports the time commitments of the faculty and student to collaborate for a year-long project, starting at the onset of a fiscal year.
