Grant Criteria
Grant requests may be for any type of project or program with a focus on teaching, faculty development or research. Examples include, but are not limited to: equipment, research needs, assistance with publications, special events, special program funds, and direct student impact (e.g. conference fees)
Grant recipients can reapply the next round if their grant is not funded.
Funding does not go directly to the faculty recipient and it is not considered part of salary or stipend. Deposits are to be made into the recipient’s department’s operating budget.
There are no administrative fees deducted from the grants.
For specific criteria refer to the application form.
Additional Information
-
Avoid using jargon in proposals.
-
If the grant is for needed equipment, the equipment purchased with the grant money belongs to the department, not the faculty member.
-
Grant requests for material, equipment and supplies and funding having a direct student impact (i.e. registration fees for students attending conferences, etc.) are encouraged.
-
Grants will no longer fund general travel expenses (e.g. airfare, meals, lodging)
-
If a grant is received, a one page follow-up report is required, describing the outcome of the use of the funds.
