Call for Proposals

This is the annual call for USA Research Council (USARC) proposals.  The purpose of the USARC grant is to initiate and strengthen research programs and to increase faculty/program competitiveness for extramural grants. Additionally, USARC supports worthy projects for which external funding is not generally available. Please refer to the "General Guidelines for USARC Grant Applications" for additional information on what is acceptable, as well as inappropriate under USARC funding. The application can be downloaded by clicking here.  The General Guidelines for preparing the proposal are available here.

A Letter of Intent to submit an application is required and is due in the Office of Graduate Studies, 222 Mobile Townhouse, on December 17, 2007. This should include, "Letter of Intent to Submit USARC Proposal," name, department, rank, title of proposed research, and estimated budget request. If support from department or college is available, indicate the approximate amount.

The deadline for receiving complete application packages in the Office of Graduate Studies is Friday, February 1, 2008. You may submit your proposal as a Microsoft Word or PDF e-mail attachment.  Applications requiring IRB review will be accepted pending approval. It is anticipated that awards will be announced in late March. Award recipients are expected to present outcomes of USARC projects at a future Annual Research Forum.
