We anticipate that this year there will be funding for up to 125 such awards. Applications must be submitted by Friday, April 13, via the online application page on the Committee on Research Web page. The grant amount is a fixed $2,000. The grant funds can be expended over the two fiscal years 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. In no cases will unexpended funds be carried over after June 30, 2009. In allocating awards, priority will be given to those at all steps and ranks who are making normal progress towards merit and promotion. If funds must be rationed, priority will be given to those who did not receive a Small Grant in Aid of Research the previous year. Exceptions to the above policy will be made only in rare instances where there are extenuating circumstances. Exceptions will be made at the discretion of the Committee on Research Grants committee.
