The Committee foresaw a large surplus of unspent funds due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so it set a third deadline for Research Grant submissions, which attracted five additional proposals that were approved for a total of $31,988.
The Committee approved the following revisions to the guidelines: Research Types B & C - raise maximum award amount to equal the faculty replacement rate as determined for the academic year by Faculty Personnel Services.Premier Display Funds and Research Grants - required curriculum vita in application must be generated via OFIS (Online Faculty Information System), or SmartPath for College of Medicine applicants.Termination Report - Require evidence of acceptance for tangible scholarly or creative product that is a manuscript or book.
