STT Alpha Eta Chapter Research Awards
UCSF's Sigma Theta Tau Nursing Honor Society chapter supports meritorious research to members or affiliates (SON students and faculty). Award range is usually $500-3,500. Deadline is typically in fall quarter.

Educational Loans
Use low-interest loans that can later be forgiven through faculty or researcher loan forgiveness programs.

Campus Organizations
For short-term projects, for which a small cost-share or subsidy is needed, consider making an appeal to a campus or student organization - including SON student groups - that might have interest. The Student Activity Center staff (in MU 108W) may have ideas too.
