Internal Grants: Faculty Improvement Grants
Sponsored Programs facilitates the application and award processes for internal Faculty Improvement Grants, including:
We distribute submitted grant applications to committees empowered by the Faculty Senate to evaluate applications and make recommendations. The Professional Development Committee reviews Short-Term Grant applications; the Faculty Research Committee reviews Long-Term and Research Grant applications. These committees forward their recommendations to the Faculty Senate for review and comments. The final reviews are provided to the Provost, who notifies applicants in writing about the final status of their grant applications.
To apply:
- Download an application form from the Sponsored Programs website.
- Present the completed application to your department Chair and college Dean for signatures. Allow enough time before the deadline to obtain these signatures.
- Make sure you have provided the necessary content and attachments. Sponsored Programs does not review applications for completeness or accuracy.
- Submit your completed application (and the necessary copies for reviewers if required by the guidelines) to Sponsored Programs by 4:30 p.m. on the appropriate deadline date. No exceptions are made.
