The Faculty Research Fund Board is responsible for reviewing proposals as outlined in the By-laws. The Board consists of six faculty members serving stagged three-year terms, each of whom is elected by the Faculty. The Board shall also make recommendations for the proposal for research funds to such outside agencies as require review by a faculty committee at the applicant’ institution.

The Board recommends disbursements only on the basis of a professionally acceptable written proposal from an eligible faculty member or student. Awards shall be made only with the approval of a majority of the Board, and board members shall not vote on their own funds requests. Each request must include a description of the proposed research project, together with an itemized statement of the intended use of the requested grant funds. Those requesting funds should use the forms below when submitting proposals. Titles and texts of previously funded proposals are on file and may be reviewed by contacting the chairperson of the FRFB.
