Mission Statement
Given that learning is at the heart of the life

involvement of students in the creation and sharing of knowledge

To these ends, the Research Council invites thoughtful, well
written proposals from faculty who are members of faculty
conference, across all disciplines and faculty ranks. The
Council welcomes proposals in three categories: 1) Individual
Faculty Research, 2) Faculty Research with Student as
Co-Investigator, and 3) Curriculum
Enhancement/Instructional Improvement.

Forms and Review Criteria: (click on category)
-
Individual Faculty Research
Funding in this category supports individual faculty
research, scholarship and creative activities. These
funds support initiatives in all disciplines, can support
on-going research, and may provide "seed" funding for
concept development leading to other external funding
submissions.
NEW - Beginning with FY2013, up to four (4)
awards in this category will be made for the development of
external grant proposals.
Budgets for the development of external grant
proposals are limited to $3000 and may include a faculty
stipend, travel, supplies, and other costs related to the
development of the proposal.
-
Faculty Research with Student as Co-Investigator
Funding in this category supports research that clearly
delineates students (graduate and undergraduate) as
co-investigators substantially involved in the project. The
student should be involved in writing the grant application,
conducting the research, analyzing the data and reporting
the results of the research, including conference
presentations. Student vita should be included in the
application package.
-
Curriculum Enhancement/Instructional Improvement
Funding in this category supports key priorities of the
academic units and faculty applying for these funds should
construct applications to fulfill previously identified
department, unit, college or university curricular needs.
The Department Chair and the Dean of the College are
required to certify by their signature on the application
form that the proposed activity meets these criteria.
