Any study involving human participants must be approved by the appropriate committee before funding or assigned time can be received. Grants will not be awarded if the applicant has an outstanding report for a previously awarded grant. Due to limited resources, only one grant will be awarded per applicant within an academic year. Late applications will not be considered for funding nor will applications that do not follow the guidelines. The Committee expects that the applicant's department will contribute low cost supplies and materials to support research projects.
Final reports are due at the end of the project award period.
The FDRC will award one semester of assigned time. Assigned time grants may be eligible for renewal when justification is provided. If assigned time is awarded and you wish to apply for additional assigned time for a consecutive semester, you must submit a new application form. Final reports for assigned time grants, documenting the proposed and achieved objectives, will be due at the end of each semester of the award. Faculty with nine-hour teaching loads are not eligible for assigned time grants.
