UC researchers continue to blaze new trails in science, medicine, business, education, engineering and the arts — literally transforming the way we live, work and learn.

Findings is the Office of Research’s newsletter, which began in October 2017. It delivers monthly updates to faculty, staff, students, and community partners about impactful research, initiatives, partnerships, events, and opportunities at the University of Cincinnati.

The Space Research Institute for Discovery and Exploration (SRIDE) at the University of Cincinnati aims to foster growth in career paths aligned with regional and national interests in discovering and exploring our universe with an emphasis on space travel and habitation. Exploring space has the potential to help humans better understand the Earth and its place in the universe, while the possibility of humans living in space or on other celestial bodies presents new challenges related to sustainability, exploration policies, and governance when planning to build societies in space. To do this, SRIDE sponsors two fellowship programs, one for undergraduates and one for graduate students, for students interested in the future of space research and exploration who show potential in advancing new ideas in the field.

The SRIDE Fellowship for Discovery is an opportunity for undergraduate students of all majors in the last year or two of their academic programs with cumulative GPAs of 3.5 or higher. Funding for this award is available for up to six $5,000 fellowships each academic semester.

The SRIDE Fellowship for Exploration is open to graduate students who have completed at least one year of their Masters or Ph.D. degrees in any area of study and have cumulative GPAs of 3.0 or higher. This award provides funding for up to six $30,000 12-month graduate stipends that do not include tuition waivers.

Congratulations to the newest cohort of SRIDE fellows!
