The Committee on Faculty Research Support administers this award. Junior and senior faculty are encouraged to apply. The Committee strongly encourages requests for matching funds and grants that make use of the Faculty Aide Program, student work-study program, and graduate students, rather than more costly alternatives. The Committee is ordinarily unable to provide support for faculty salaries. Larger awards are sometimes made in support of a departmental program or activity.
