Faculty Research Expense Grants
Under the Research Expense Grants program, faculty members may request support for up to two years. In order to make FRC funds as widely available as possible, the committee will ensure that all viable one-year proposals are funded before considering proposals for longer periods. The committee also reserves the right to fully or partially fund requests of more than one year’s duration. Please note that awarding of the grant is contingent upon timely submission of reports from previous FRC awards. Of particular interest to the committee are those proposals that serve to enhance the potential for faculty members to compete for external support for the continuation and development of their scholarly work.
Awards provide for reimbursement of a wide range of research costs. Examples of such costs include: travel necessary to perform the research; travel to archives; library and archive fees; materials and supplies; student assistance and other types of research assistance (e.g., translators, transcription services), acquisition of materials and certain types of equipment.
Costs that are not covered by Research Expense Grants include the purchase of major capital equipment; publication preparation charges, such as indexing and page charges (these are covered by the Completion Grants); meals during travel; and travel to scholarly meetings—including travel to present research results (these are covered by travel funds from the Dean of Faculty's Office). Faculty Research Committee awards may not be used for course buyouts.
