2012 Faculty Incentive Grants
About the Faculty Incentive Grants (FIG) Program
The Faculty Incentive Grants (FIG) program was established to assist non-tenured Assistant Professors and non-tenured Associate Professors with initiating research, scholarly, and creative activities that have the potential to become continuing programs supported by extramural funds.
A total of $25,000 is available for awards. Funding is provided by the return of indirect costs from externally funded projects to the University Corporation at Monterey Bay. We recommend that project budgets do not exceed $7,000 (in the range of $3K-$7K).
The Academic Senate Committee for Postgraduate Studies and Research (PGSR) is committed to fostering a supportive environment for entry-level faculty starting out their research, scholarly, and/or creative activity career at CSUMB. The Committee reviews proposals and recommends awards. At the discretion of the Committee, awards may be for less than requested in the proposal.
Note that the Committee for Postgraduate Studies and Research is only obligated to review proposals received on time, and following the guidelines. For questions about the the application and proposal requirements please contact Grants & Contracts, 582-5130, grants_contracts@csumb.edu.
ELIGIBILITY: All non-tenured Assistant Professors and non-tenured Associate Professors are eligible. For questions regarding your status please contact Academic Personnel, 582-3385, academic_personnel@csumb.edu.
DEADLINE: CSUMB's Office of Grants & Contracts is accepting applications for 2012 Faculty Incentive Grant funds until Wednesday, March 21st, 2012, by 5PM.
