Summer Research Fellowships and Research Support Grants

SRF/RSG Cover Sheet

These programs provide faculty with the opportunity to enhance scholarly research and to build collaborative programs with other faculty and with students. They are intended to support initial or ongoing phases of scholarly and curricular development research that will lead to the submission of proposals for research support from external funding sources. The Summer Research Fellowship (SRF) program provides support for summer salaries and non-faculty salary items. Research Support Grants may be used only for expenses other than faculty salaries.

Please view past Summer Research Fellowship and Research Support Grant recipients.
