UMSL Research Awards
These awards are designed to strengthen faculty research and creative activities. A significant portion of the funds available for faculty research support is based on F&A cost recovery from externally funded grants and contracts. In order to perpetuate the fund, one purpose of the Research Awards is to support faculty whose competitive position for external funding will be improved by such assistance. Awards also are given to help faculty in all disciplines maintain an active research program, even if external funding is difficult to obtain. Special consideration, particularly for summer research support, will be given to junior faculty to assist them in establishing a strong research record. Generally, tenured faculty will not be awarded summer salary support.
Funding may be requested for research assistants, equipment, supplies, travel to research locations, and salary support for course reductions, research leaves, and summer research. Funds will not be awarded for domestic travel to conferences, but will be awarded for travel to international conferences in conjunction with research-related travel.
Proposals can be funded in the range of $1,000 to $12,500.
