The Faculty Research and Development Committee (FRDC) announces the FY09 University Research Grant (URG) call for proposals.
Brief summary: These small, in-house grants can be used to fund travel, equipment, supplies and staff or student assistance for research projects. Milner proposals do not compete with proposals from other colleges. The proposals are reviewed by FRDC, which makes award recommendations to the Dean of University Libraries, who announces the awards.
Eligibility: The primary principal investigator must be a faculty member on a tenure track appointment (either probationary or tenured), and non-tenure track faculty may serve as co-principal investigators.
Timeline:
Proposals are due to the FRDC (via the College Research Coordinator) - April 30, 2008. Tentative award announcements from the Dean of University Libraries - May 30, 2008.
Funds disbursed - sometime after July 1, 2007 [depending on state budget].
Proposals involving technology should be reviewed by the Dean's Technology Advisory Committee prior to submission. DTAC generally meets on the first and third Wednesdays of each month and would be glad to entertain your proposals at their meetings. Contact Beth Schobernd (emschob@ilstu.edu, 8-3481) for more info on technology review of grant proposals.
If you have questions about eligibility to apply, what may be funded, using the form, etc., please contact the College Research Coordinator or any member of FRDC. The FRDC looks forward to seeing your proposals.
