Grants will not be awarded for routine expenses, or for expenses which are ordinarily covered by other sources, such as the grant of a major advisor. Applications must be submitted in SIX copies. Request the minimum amount that will allow you to conduct the research. Enter whole dollars only on the budget form. For the budget justification page, itemize the budget request and justify each item clearly.
Allowable expenses vary according to the disciplinary area of the proposal.
Recipients of awards will have approximately one calendar year in which to use their Provost s Research Award. Applications for summer support may be submitted to either the fall or spring competition. Awards will be made on the basis of scholarly merit, subject to available funding. Applications may, at the committee s or the dean s discretion, be deferred to a later competition, or re-submissions may be invited. Research Award recipients must submit a short report within six months after the end of the grant period, but not later than the date that all degree requirements are completed.
