University Research Grant Program

Deadline:  December 3; Maximum Award:  $10,000

The University Research Grant Program, budgeted at $160,000 provides funding for regular full-time faculty and academic staff (per WSU/AAUP Agreement), with preference given to instructors and faculty below the rank of full professor, to: (1) support research in the form of summer stipends for nine-month faculty for whom a period of extended and uninterrupted activity is essential; and (2) support purchases of supplies and equipment not otherwise obtainable. Other research expenses such as travel and support personnel are allowed only when they are necessary to perform the stated research and are properly justified. Support to attend a professional meeting may also be requested.  Only one application may be submitted per faculty member.

The application form is available for download at http://provost.wayne.edu/awards.php. Completed applications require the endorsement of the department chairperson and dean. Send completed application, including necessary signatures  and curriculum vitae or biosketch in PDF format to Lynn Slone at lslone@wayne.edu.  Awards will be announced by March 10, 2008.  If you need additional information, please email lslone@wayne.edu or call 577-2256.
