The CHASS research office is pleased to announce that we have a new system for taking in funding requests. On the CHASS Research Blog you will see, under pages, a link to "CHASS Funding Request Form." This form is now the primary method faculty will use to apply for CHASS support for research and engagement activities. This new system will help us to match the different resources we have with the research needs of the college's faculty.
You can also access the form directly at http://chassresearch.blogspot.com/p/chass-funding-request-form.html
The form is straightforward and easy to use, and many of the parts can be completed using materials you've already written--you need only cut and paste from existing documents, as needed. If you are writing new text, you may want to write in your word processor first, and then paste the text into the appropriate form. This will allow you to more readily save your work and run spelling and grammar checks.
Important things you should know:
1. You cannot use the form unless you are logged into your NCSU Gmail--this login gives you access to all the features of Google documents, including forms. If you are not logged in when you try to fill in the form, open a new browser tab or window, log in, and then refresh the screen.
2. When completing the form, please indicate in the appropriate place that you would like to have a copy of your entries emailed to you. You should then be able to use that copy to share with your department head, who should be informed of your proposal. We will, in any case, seek your department chair's review of your request, unless, of course, we have already heard from your chair regarding the request.
3. We generally ask that all proposers seek some cost sharing from their departments. The target figure is about 25% departmental cost sharing, but this may be adjusted upward or downward as financial conditions warrant. In short, this is not a hard and fast number.
Please share this information broadly with your colleagues. We look forward to hearing from you.
