The Office for Research and Engagement is pleased to announce the call for proposals for the CHASS Scholarship and Research Award for 2013-14.
Update: 11/20/2013 -- We are extended the deadline to November 27, 2013--the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
The call for proposals and links to the cover sheet and the short vita form are at http://www.chass.ncsu.edu/research/resources/funding/scholarly.php
Please note that the SRA program has changed to promote greater collaboration leading to funded research. There are now two types of proposals that may be submitted.
In Type 1 proposals, the College will fund up to three research groups, each of which will form a research interest group, collaborative team, or other structure, to begin the process of developing a substantive and sustainable research program that will become an ongoing area of strength in CHASS. The primary product funded by the SRA Type 1 award will be an application to an external funding organization, such as a foundation or government agency. We anticipate funding each group for approximately $6,000, but please do not treat this as a hard limit—we will consider proposals that are slightly larger than this target amount.
The "traditional" SRA proposals are now called Type 2 proposals. Under this program, individual CHASS faculty may apply for an SRA that provides support for expenses related to research, scholarship, and scholarship on teaching and learning. We do prefer to fund projects that will yield external funding, such as grants and fellowships.
Please share this with your colleagues across CHASS, and direct any questions to me at tabirkla@ncsu.edu.
