Faculty Research Grants Research and curriculum development support to faculty can take the form of overseas travel grants related to the collection of data, attendance at research symposia, interviews, sabbatical leaves, etc. In addition, faculty may apply for research support in the amount of one summer ninth, or for research assistance from doctoral students. Finally, faculty may choose to apply for a grant for the acquisition of data bases or other research tools. Priority will be given to faculty who have not been funded more than once before, and to those who are engaged in substantial projects, perhaps including teams of researchers crossing disciplinary and national boundaries. We encourage projects involving faculty in more than one Anderson faculty area, in other UCLA departments, or in overseas institutions, as well as those engaging doctoral students.
Doctoral students are eligible for support in one of two ways .
They may work on an existing faculty project under that faculty member s supervision, in which case it is the faculty member s responsibility to solicit support in the form of a research assistantship, summer support, or a similar stipend as described above. Alternatively, we have set aside some funds to support doctoral student dissertation research . The latter could be in the form of funds for overseas travel, data collection, interviews, acquisition of data bases, etc. First year funds must be spent by September 30, 2001. All grantees will be asked to submit a two-page summary of their activities under the grant by October 31, 2001.
