The Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station (CUAES) has made available $20,000 this year for supplementing current Hatch or Multistate projects where the principle investigator is mentoring an undergraduate student in research associated with that Hatch project.

Twenty projects will be supplemented with $1000 each to support the undergraduate student's research. The student should be engaged in "independent research"; i.e., involved in the research process more than doing "busy work" to earn an income.

Projects awarded this supplement in 2009-2010 academic year will need to spend it by September 30, 2010.
