Research grants support the scientific, scholarly or artistic efforts of faculty. The Council encourages the use of URC grants as a stepping stone to extramural support. A special new allocation of funds in the research grant category is available to support basic research in the social and behavioral sciences that has the potential to inform understanding of cancer prevention and control. Publication grants help pay the costs of publishing scientific, scholarly or artistic work. They may be used to pay for such things as photographs, drawings, figures or tables, or permissions to reprint.
Preference is given to less senior applicants only for the purpose of breaking ties.
Note that the forms for both types of grants have been revised. Old forms should be discarded and new forms used. Go to UNC-CH home page .
