Meghan Peer, an applied mathematics major from Southgate, Mich., was awarded funding through the Students Research and Creative Institute for her research at Saginaw Valley State University. Peer was chosen to receive $2,483.00 for her research to discover a new method for solving a kind of calculus problem that frequently doesn’t allow exact computation.

Nine students pursuing scientific research projects received funding from Saginaw Valley State University's Grace A. and Herbert H. Dow Student Research and Creativity Institute. Grants were awarded to six projects for research on such topics as cancer, calculus, and the psychology behind exercise habits.

Any SVSU student may submit a proposal to receive financial support for research or other creative endeavors. Each student project is eligible to receive up to $10,000. All student submissions must be sponsored by an SVSU faculty or staff member. Students serve as the primary researcher, author or creative agent for each project but are guided by SVSU faculty and staff.
