Faculty Research Committee
Faculty at Northeastern State University can apply for internal grant funds through the Faculty Research Committee (FRC).
The basic philosophy of the FRC grant program is:
- To encourage use of internal funds as seed money to generate a start toward having principle investigators initiate proposals for external funding.
- To support meritorious research and scholarly activities that contribute to the faculty member's discipline even when no external funding is available.
A primary function of the FRC is to operate a faculty research grant funding program based on a merit review of proposals submitted by faculty. FRC grant funds will support research defined as: scientific investigations or other scholarly activities leading to original contributions to understanding in any of the disciplines supported by NSU. Those research activities may include systematic investigations of teaching methods, tools, and/or instructional strategies.
Funding Amount
Currently, faculty can recieve up to $8,000 for a one-year grant and $12,000 for a two-year grant project.
