Faculty mentor-undergraduate student pairs are encouraged to apply for a 2012-2013 Undergraduate Research Grant. These grants provide up to $1,000 in financial support to undergraduate students who work closely with a faculty member to conduct research, engage in field studies, create projects in their discipline, or participate in similar scholarly/creative activities. Applications due on Monday, May 7, 2012.
We are delighted to make available materials that will enable you to take advantage of three exciting internal funding opportunities sponsored by the Academic Affairs Division and the Office of the Provost. Inspired by the principles under-girding the ACE-Sloan Faculty Career Flexibility award SJSU received in 2008, the overall intent of these initiatives is to provide support for tenure-track and tenured faculty at all stages of their careers, across the range of their professional responsibilities.
First, the campus will continue to invest in the Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity (RSCA) grant program. Probationary faculty, mid-career faculty and full professors are invited to submit proposals for funding to assist them as they advance an on-going RSCA project, or as they launch a new avenue of RSCA.
Second, the campus will continue to invest in the Student Success grant program. Faculty are encouraged to submit proposals for projects that support and/or engage San José State University students in a wide variety of curricular and co-curricular experiences.
And finally, the Office of the Provost has announced the Curricular Innovation Project grant program. Awards made as part of this initiative are intended to draw together inter-departmental and inter-college teams of faculty, to design new courses and curricula, or to revise current offerings in order to support inter-disciplinary learning among our students.
Below, you will find instructions and application forms pertaining to each of these grant programs. While Center for Faculty Development staff will not be involved in the review processes for these awards, we are very happy to provide you with any assistance we can as you develop your ideas and craft your applications.
