Preference will be given to requests from untenured, tenure-track faculty in any discipline and to requests from tenured faculty in disciplines where extramural funding is not generally available.
Faculty are eligible to apply for only one minigrant each fiscal year.
Priority will be given to applications from non-tenured faculty. Requests for minigrant funds may be submitted at any time and will be reviewed promptly. Faculty should submit a letter to the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Studies that describes the nature of the request and the benefits to the faculty member's research program. This statement is particularly important since units receiving Incentive Program awards are expected to accommodate such requests with these funds.
