Research Committee Awards
Friday, November 6, 2009 proposal submission deadline for 2010-2011 funding
Overview
The Graduate School Research Committee annually makes awards of up to $10,000 to individual faculty.
The Research Committee competition supports all faculty: assistant professors, associate professors, and professors. The awards are intended to support the development of applicants' research programs (e.g., the initial phase of a new project or a transition project of an applicant expanding his or her area of research). Awards provide up to $10,000, and applicants may request up to one-ninth summer salary support.
Eligible are faculty members who:
- Will have completed their terminal degree by the November 1 preceding the award year.
- Have not received a research committee award during the three years preceding the award year.
- Are not members of the research committee during the current academic year.
- Have satisfied the terms and conditions of previous research committee awards.
- Are not on notice of non-retention for the academic year following the award year.
- Will be on the faculty in the academic year following the award year. (If a grantee fails to complete this required term of continued service, full reimbursement to the Graduate School of all expended funds is required).
- Do not have primary budget authority (chancellor, vice chancellor, deans, associate deans).
- Have not received $100,000 or more in start-up funds.
Projects supported with Research Committee funds are expected to result in appropriate scholarly products, e.g. publications, creative works, proposals for extramural funding, or artistic performances.
A Request for Proposals with detailed guidelines is posted on this page with a November deadline, for awards to be given the following academic year. Contact Steve Atkinson (sda@uwm.edu, 229-4062) with any questions about this program.
