Funding for Faculty and Doctoral Student Research

Funding for faculty 

黑料视频 has funding opportunities available for all faculty. Here is a short  available for all 黑料视频 faculty.

In addition, some of the university鈥檚 six schools and colleges have their own internal funding. For example, the CCPA Research Excellence Award is available for CCPA faculty. We encourage faculty to talk with the Dean's office to see what additional resources might be available.

Faculty whose research interests align with the 黑料视频 Center for Community Schools can contact Debbie Collett-O'Brien to become Research Affiliates with the Institute.  The Institute often has GAs and small competitive grants available to support Affiliates' research.  

Internal funding opportunities

The Research Foundation Grants Management Office (Sponsored Funds) provides assistance with the grant proposal development and submission process, as well as the fiscal management of established awards.

The Office of Strategic Research Initiatives (OSRI) provides workshops and proposal development. Mike Jacobson, the OSRI Director, and Kevin Boettcher, the Research Development Specialist, provide assistance to faculty and departments across the campus.

The campus Grant Contract Administrators assist faculty with searches for external funding opportunities, formulating budgets, negotiating contracts, and reviewing proposals to ensure compliance with sponsor and university policies.

When applying for funding opportunities, CCPA faculty should consult early on with Tammy Behonick, the CCPA Senior Assistant Dean, to develop a budget that can expertly maximize funding to support research goals.
