Tillyard Research
Publish your research, find a team, and apply for a grant. It is free to students.
Publish your research
Write a paper, have students at other colleges read it, and an editor reviews it after you submit it.
Find a team
List a project and students at any college can ask to join. Or look for one that needs a statistician, an interviewer or a second pair of eyes.
Apply for a grant
Tillyard pays for student research as funding allows. You can write a proposal and save it as a draft any time.
Research grants
Grants are awarded in rounds as funding allows. Applying doesn't guarantee a grant. If we can't fund a strong proposal right away, we may hold it for a later round. You're free to keep working, change direction or withdraw at any time.
Next milestone: our first research grant
Gifts pay for student research. Reaching a milestone doesn't promise a grant to any one proposal.

Why do research?
It takes real time. This is what you get back.
It stands out on a résumé
A finished project shows an employer or a graduate school that you can take a question from the first idea to a written answer on your own. Few students can show that.
It can help people
You choose a question that matters to you, and what you find is published for anyone to use. Your work can help a town, a group of people or a whole field.
You learn how research works
Asking a question that can be answered, finding good sources, collecting data and writing it up. Doing it once teaches more than reading about it.
You learn to work as a team
On a team project you split the work, keep each other on track and settle disagreements, which you will need wherever you go next.
You come out knowing a subject well
By the end you know your topic better than almost anyone your age.
