The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs and the University Research Council are pleased to announce the FY18 competition for the Research Grant Development and Research Pilot Studies competitions.
The Research Grant Development (RGD) program provides support for a faculty member to develop an external research grant application. The faculty member may either receive a summer stipend or receive a course release in the fall/spring semester (and the grant will cover the costs of the faculty replacement or adjunct).
The Research Pilot Studies (RPS) program provides support of up to $3,000 to assist faculty in initiating pilot projects. Allowable costs include travel to collect data, supplies, materials, non-capital equipment, and student assistant wages.
The deadline for spring projects is October 9, 2017 with recipients notified in December. For summer 2018 and fall 2018 projects, the deadline is March 23, 2018.
Guidelines and applications are available on the ORSP website.
