    Faculty Summer Research Grant Development Program

WHAT: A grant-writing incentive program that awards up to $5,000 in research support and stipend (with a maximum stipend of $3,000) to eligible faculty and academic professionals to work, during the summer months immediately following the award, on developing a research proposal to be submitted to at least three outside funding programs by Spring of the coming academic year.
The amount requested of the outside funding agencies is expected to be at least $15,000 each. Proposals that have already been developed or are near completion are NOT eligible for this competition. Proposals requiring additional research and that are being re-written for a second submission may be eligible. Reviewer comments must be included in the SBSRI application packet.

Recipients of a Summer Research Grant Development Award are required to participate in grant-writing workshops (May 7 and 8), and to participate in the review sessions for draft proposals. Attendance is required, so please check scheduled dates BEFORE submitting a proposal.

HOW:

Proposal applications and a letter of support from the Department Head are submitted to the SBSRI, Social Sciences 115C.

Applications and Guidelines are available in the SBSRI Office, Social Sciences 115C. Questions may be directed to Camilla Strausfeld at 621-3930, e-mail: cstrausf@u.arizona.edu

WHEN: April 2, 2008.
WHO:

Social & Behavioral Sciences Faculty and Academic Professionals who have at least a 0.50 FTE in the college, are tenured, tenure-track, continuing, or continuing eligible.  Otherwise qualified Social and Behavioral Sciences Faculty and Academic Professionals whose primary responsibility is to engage in grant writing, or who are in a “single duty” position (job responsibilities that focus primarily on one particular type of task, or that are not evaluated for tenure/continuing status on the basis of combined efforts in teaching, research, and service) are not eligible to apply. This is a one-time award; previous awardees are not eligible to reapply.
