Can my faculty advisor/sponsor be faculty at another university? Can a post-doc or graduate student at NU serve as my advisor?
For the purposes of applying for an Undergraduate Research Grant, your faculty sponsor can be a faculty member either at Northwestern or another university. Post-docs and graduate students may not serve as your primary advisor. While you may find it useful to seek advice and assistance from post-docs or graduate students, you will still need a sponsor who is a faculty member.
