Financial Assistance for Research
Small grants for financial assistance for the support of faculty research are available, either directly from the Chair of the Committee on Research & Service, or if they exceed $300, from the Committee on Research & Service. Requests may be submitted at any time during the year, but early application is encouraged.
Summer Research Fellowships
To provide support for faculty research during the summer, fellowships are available in two categories on a competitive basis to provide support for faculty research during the summer. The first category (A) provides a stipend for a summer research project on a full-time basis with the expectation of a submission to high quality, refereed journal or an equivalent standard of intellectual contribution. The second category (B) allows the faculty member to teach only one course during the summer sessions.
Note: Boler School of Business (BSOB) faculty should apply directly to the BSOB Dean.
