The work proposed should advance your field or discipline. Again, the proposal has to contain the information necessary for the URC to make an informed decision on this criterion. The budget should be consistent with the project goals. All budget items should be fully justified. Applicants should take into account the total amount of money generally available for all proposals in requesting funds for research.
Investigators are limited to one research proposal.
Recipients of a previous UMass Dartmouth Foundation or UMass Healey Endowment grant may apply again, but only after they have pursued funding support from outside the University. They are to indicate what publications or other productivity have resulted from the previous support, and also indicate the agency, dollar amount and title of all external proposals which they have submitted since the receipt of their last UMass Dartmouth Foundation or UMass Healey Endowment grant. It also is a requirement that those who have previously received a UMass Dartmouth Foundation or UMass Healey Endowment grant must submit a final report upon completion of the grant award and shortly after the end date. Recipients of a current award are not eligible to apply for another until the current award has ended. Costs directly associated with research will be considered for funding, to include equipment and software critical to the project, supplies integral to the research activity and not ordinarily provided by the department, and travel integral to the project.
