Proposals for the biannual competitions are due in the fall and spring. Applicants working in areas presently funded by external funding sources and funded under the Chancellor's Initiative Fund are ineligible for support. This program provides matching funds for equipment obtained by faculty from externally funded grants. This program encourages and supports instructional development activities. The Quality Improvement Program's intent is to maintain and upgrade the infrastructure of the University by purchasing research and instructional equipment.
Funding is available for individual projects, group efforts, and support facilities.
Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, along with disciplinary proposals are encouraged. Proposals are submitted in the fall, and grant amounts vary. The goal of this program is to enhance research productivity at GSU by supporting existing faculty research projects. Supported projects either have, or have substantial potential for, extramural funding. All disciplinary, as well as multidisciplinary and inter-disciplinary proposals are eligible for this competitive funding.
