Announcement of Awards

After the Research Council reviews the proposals and funding recommendations are made available, each reviewed grant applicant will be officially notified of the final recommendations via letter.

Please note that all grant funding is contingent upon the availability of funds.

Purpose

The purpose of this grant program is to initiate new faculty research activities, which will strengthen faculty credentials and make them more competitive for external funding appropriate to their discipline. All proposals must clearly address this objective. Proposals for work related to the applicant's past research must show how the proposed research differs from, and clearly enhances, the faculty member's research agenda.

Other worthwhile objectives such as curriculum development, student research projects, cataloging, or compiling of information, self-development through courses or workshops and other in-service projects, or studies that only gather descriptive information, though highly meritorious, are not eligible for funding. Proposals that address only the preparation or publication of reports or manuscripts based on prior research (e.g., a dissertation) are not eligible. Senior Faculty who partner with junior faculty are eligible to participate but cannot act as the Principal Investigator (PI).
