We anticipate that this year there will be funding for approximately 160 such awards, a substantial increase from previous years for this award program. Applications must be submitted by Friday, April 11, via the online application page on the Committee on Research Web page (see procedures for web link). The grant amount is a fixed $2,000. The grant funds can be expended over the two fiscal years 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. In no cases will unexpended funds be carried over after June 30, 2010. In allocating awards, Assistant Professors will have first priority. Eligible professors whose applications last year were not funded will have second priority. Third priority will go to Associate and Full professors who are making normal progress in the merit cycle with more junior faculty receiving the higher priority. ELIGIBILITY for the Small Grant: All members of the Academic Senate whose standard faculty teaching load is equivalent to 16 quarter units per year, and are making normal progress in the merit cycle are eligible for this program. Please refer to Standing Order of the Regents 105.1 for information on Academic Senate membership. Faculty on leave without pay (LWOP) are not eligible and Emeriti will receive lower priority during the review of applications. ALLOWABLE EXPENSES: All expenses in the furtherance of the applicant's research, excluding faculty salaries, are allowable as long as they meet university rules for eligibility. All books, films, equipment, etc. purchased with grant funds are the property of the University when they have served the grant holder's purpose.
