Checklist Please complete the attached checklist and submit as part of the proposal. The Summer Research Awards are intended to provide a funding source for Summer research and creative development. Grants will be awarded on merit, which will be determined by the Arts and Sciences Research Affairs Committee. The potential for the research to generate outside funding in the future will be considered, but the Committee will also consider the level of experimentation, creative development and the pursuit of new ideas and innovations. Proposals for research that may not be able to find outside funding because of their experimental nature are encouraged.
Grants are to provide funds for summer research, which is a time of high productivity.
Grants will be announced in December and all funds must be spent by September 30. Any tenure-track faculty member in the College of Arts and Sciences who is on a regular appointment with rank of instructor or above is eligible to apply for a Summer Research Award. An award of this grant will not preclude application for, nor award of, an Arts and Sciences Minigrant. A faculty member can receive a Summer Research Award only once every three years.
