The University Senate Research Committee reviews the university’s research policies and provides funding for faculty research through a monthly grant competition during the academic year. Faculty may apply for grant awards of up to $4,000 for one investigator or $8,000 for two or more investigators to support original research and scholarship and up to $2,000 to support travel to present original research/scholarship at professional conferences and similar scholarly venues.
Application deadlines, guidelines, and a link to the electronic application in InfoReady are posted on the University Senate Awards web page.
2025–26 cochairs are Lisa Sciulli and Lorraine Guth.
