Description
The purpose of Mini-Grants is to encourage faculty to engage in research, scholarship, and creative activity which will ultimately lead to their professional growth and to the enhancement of our students' educational experience.
These grants consist of monies which may be used for assigned time, student assistants, clericals, supplies, services, equipment, operating costs, and travel. These grants shall be viewed as "seed monies," that is for projects which upon completion will have strong potential for gaining outside support. Preference will be given to proposals not previously funded, but which show evidence of initial preparation. A proposed project shall not duplicate any other project already funded from any other source within the university during the same academic year. As a rule, requests for equipment which is generally available or attainable through College/Department and which is not specific to the project will not be recommended for approval.
Eligibility
- All faculty are eligible to apply for Mini-Grants as these are funded from the RSCA funds from the Chancellor’s Office.
- Only one completed application per grant category shall be submitted by an individual faculty member or principal investigator
- Applicants should avoid submitting the same proposal for funding in more than one of the categories unless it is clearly indicated the project necessitates dividing it into several parts. The request for multiple awards must be clearly justified within proposal.

The following submission guidelines should be followed:
- Mini-Grant Guidelines
- Narrative - Should be limited to 4 pages not including the budget, budget justification, prior grant activity and reference
