Program Purpose 

The Faculty Small Grant Program (FSGP) seeks to support significant research and creative scholarly projects in colleges where extramural funding is difficult to obtain. This program will provide faculty with grants up to $6,000 for a period of two years to support scholarly projects and publications. In exceptional circumstances the committee may elect to support an outstanding proposal at a higher level of funding. Proposals are evaluated on their significance, soundness, competence and merits. 

Eligibility Criteria 

Faculty who hold at least a .50 FTE appointment are eligible to apply. Recipients of University Research Committee (URC) grants must submit a final report and close out any remaining URC funds before they are eligible to reapply for the program. If an application has been turned down by the committee, the PI is allowed one resubmission of a revised proposal on the same subject. Revised proposals must include a description of all changes made to the original proposal in a point-by-point fashion.  

Length of Grants 

The grant activity will close two years after the award date. Any remaining funds will be returned to the URC. No-cost extensions will not be considered unless under exceptional circumstances. Recipients of the URC grants must submit a Final Report (with Cover Sheet- PDF) when their grant has expired. 

If, within one year there is a tangible product, the recipient should send a copy of the product to the committee. This includes, but is not limited to, such items as articles, books, photographs, or other appropriate material. Tangible products submitted with final reports will be returned. The awardee is required to acknowledge the URC grant in any published results, catalogs, videos or other products.
