UC DAVIS: ACADEMIC SENATE -- COMMITTEE ON RESEARCH Wednesday, October 22, 2003 To: Deans, Directors and Department Chairs From: Steven Velinsky, Chair, Committee on Research Subject: Extension of Deadline for the 2003-2004 New Faculty Research Grant Program DEADLINE REVISED: 11:59 p.m., Tuesday, November 4, 2003 Call site: http://www.mrak.ucdavis.edu/senate/committee_cor.htm The Committee on Research is accepting applications from all eligible members of the Academic Senate who are now on campus. All new faculty in a ladder rank or equivalent position whose appointments began on or after April 17, 2003, and who did not apply for the 2003-2004 Faculty Research Grant Program are eligible to apply for this program. Funding is for a maximum of $4000. The Committee on Research relies on the department chairs and the department MSOs/PSAs to circulate this information to the new faculty in their unit. Please note applications must be submitted electronically via e-mail attachment. The entire application is to be submitted as a single attachment and must not be submitted as a part of the e-mail text. PAPER APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Applications must be e-mailed using the following address, frg@ucdavis.edu, by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, November 4, 2003. The funding period is for the 2003-2004 Academic Year ending June 30, 2004. All funds must be expended no later than June 30, 2004. New Faculty Research Grant proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the significance of the project and need. In the case of faculty who are new to UC Davis, but who are not assistant professors, research and publication records will be part of the evaluation. As stated in the Sponsored Research Manual, Section 505 “Proposals should be specific, well-defined, and concerned with developing fundamental principles rather than with routine application of established principles or routine collection of data.” In case of limited funds, new assistant professors who are in the first year of their career appointment at a university will be given preference. PLEASE NOTE: * Please follow with care the Application Guidelines. * Applications with a total budget in excess of the maximum amount of $4000 will not be reviewed. * Only applications submitted as e-mail attachments with all material as a single attachment will be accepted. * Check the description of allowable and non-allowable expenses in the Sponsored Research Manual, Section 505 before preparing your budget. Non-allowable items cannot and will not be approved. * This call is for research support for the fiscal year 2003-2004. All funds must be expended no later than June 30, 2004. If the research project is expected to extend over more than one year, it should be clearly indicated in the research description what part the PI proposes to complete this year and how this fits into the long-term project. * Faculty on leave without salary are not eligible for a New Faculty Research Grant unless approved as an exception by the Committee on Research and the Vice Chancellor Research. A letter of request for exception must be included in the application.
