Special Research Grants
Applications will be accepted beginning Sept. 1, 2008, until all funding is expended.
They provide modest research support (up to $750) for specific projects of individual tenured and tenure-track faculty members. These grants are intended to cover unanticipated costs or special needs and should not be considered a means of supporting on-going projects. Funds for special research grants are provided by regental appropriation and are administered by the Office of the Vice President for Research. These grants are competitive and funding is limited; applications received earlier in the academic year will have a better chance of being funded. Applications will be accepted beginning Sept. 1, 2008. Conversely, applications will not be accepted after May 31, 2009.

Subvention Grants
Deadline: Ongoing
The University Co-operative Society Subvention Grants program is designed to assist faculty authors in the publication of scholarly books.

Subvention awards provide financial assistance to faculty members when departments and deans are unable to provide needed support. Visit Subvention Grants for more information.
