Graduate Student Research Funding

Disbursement Request Form


This form is to request funding that will be dispersed as stipend funding via the Graduate Funding System (GFS). Funding that will be disbursed via contracts is handled separately.


You must upload your IRB approval and protocol or an email from the IRB office stating that you do not need IRB approval with your first disbursement request.


An updated budget template must also be uploaded for each funding request. This must detail previous funding expenses, if applicable, and your current request.


You may apply for a funding disbursement no more than once per quarter.

Contracts*

You have answered "Yes": before receiving your funds, you should be in contact with Global Business Services to seek contract consultation. After you have finished speaking with GBS about your project/contract, complete the intake form to start the process of setting up a contract/PO with your research funding.


The King Center can pay organizations and international collaborators directly through service contracts set up via Stanford’s iProcurement contract process. This process can take time, so planning should be done significantly in advance.


Please view this recording and see our FAQ page for additional information.


Please confirm that you will use a Stanford Travel booking channel for any travel funded by this award.
