Support for Faculty/Staff
Recognizing the need to increase the opportunities for faculty and staff to pursue external funding to support research, education and service activities, the University provides the following assistance:
- Proposal Development
- Travel Fund
Two course reassignments per academic year will be available to each college for faculty to have quality time to identify, plan, prepare, and submit a proposal to an external organization. These reassignments are contingent upon a college contributing one course reassignment. Once a proposal is submitted, the college or department will be reimbursed up to $3,000 for the cost of the per course faculty(s) salary and fringe.
To request a course reassignment, contact the OSRP Director at 836-5972. Reimbursement will be processed electronically using the Course Reassignment Fund form.

The University recognizes the need to acquire equipment for research and other scholarly efforts. Beyond the funds available within the academic units, the Equipment Matching Funds Program enables the University to commit up to 50% of the costs for equipment in a proposal submitted to a funding organization.
For more information contact Office of Sponsored Research.
University units will be reimbursed for up to $1,000 for the travel expenses of a faculty or staff member who visits a funding organization to enable them to develop a proposal. Reimbursement will be paid to the initiating unit once the proposal is submitted. A request for reimbursement for expenses will be processed electronically using the Travel Fund form.
