Awards will not be given merely to support research or collection of preliminary data although the funds may be used for such expenditures after a complete proposal has been submitted. Application Guidelines Applicants are required to submit to the COR an application for the Faculty Incentive Award. A budget and brief description on how the FIA support would be used, and an estimation of the total budget that will be requested in the extramural proposal on a separate sheet. In the event that applications substantially exceed the available funds, COR may make partial awards based on a competitive review. A copy of the approval letter should be attached to the final proposal.
Funds are to be expended within one year from the date on which they have been made available.
Requirements and Review Criteria COR will only review the FIA application for the FIA, and not the actual proposal to the extramural agency. The latter will only be used for evaluation of the FIA program, as at that time the award of an FIA has already been approved. The PI must be an Assistant or Associate Professor at the time of application. Only one application per PI can be accepted at this time. Except for the most junior applicants the publication record of the PI will be evaluated.
