CELSJE Summer Research Grant

Submit Summer Research Grant Form
Applications are due by the first Friday of the Spring Semester. This year's deadline is January 17, 2025.
The Summer Research Grant Program at the CELSJE offers a $4,000 stipend to SOE faculty members to conduct research that can lead to a funded project from external grant or sponsored program. Two awards are made each year. Grants are recommended by a review committee and approved by the Center’s Director and SOE Dean. One should not assume the committee members to have specialized knowledge in the applicant’s particular discipline. Therefore, proposals are evaluated based on their clarity and cogency as presented in a sophisticated but not highly technical fashion.
Faculty who are interested in applying for The Summer Research Grant Program at the CELSJE should follow the guideline below. The guideline highlights:1) types of fundable research, 2) conditions of eligibility, 3) teaching load, 4) how to apply, 5) Format of the proposal, and 6) evaluation criteria
Submission Requirements
Faculty members must adhere to the requirements for submission of the summer research grant program for their applications to be reviewed. These requirements are as follows:
1. Applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. on the first Friday of the spring semester.
2. Applications must be submitted electronically using the link above.
3. Applicants may not have received a grant from this program for both of the previous
two years.
4. The applicant’s name may not appear in the application (need to be blind version).
5. The applicant must have submitted the required final reports for all CELSJE funded
grants received.
The above requirements will be adhered to strictly. Applicants will receive a system
generated confirmation once their proposal has been submitted. After the deadline
has passed the CELSJE staff will review all applications to ensure that they meet
the requirements listed above. Only those applications that meet these criteria will
be forwarded to the review committee. Thank you for your attention to these guidelines.
Peer Research Support
In addition to stipends, the Summer Research Grant Program provides a peer support option for awardees to promote collaboration, mutual learning, and professional growth. This initiative connects awardees with fellow researchers who can provide guidance across various aspects of research, such as data collection, analysis, theoretical frameworks, writing, and dissemination. Awardees may choose their own peer support partners or request assistance from CELSJE in identifying suitable matches. To recognize their contributions, peer support partners will receive a $500 honorarium for approximately 10 hours of work.
When developing your proposals, please consider the peer support option and how you
might incorporate it into your research process. Award letters will provide additional
details about this option, and awardees will be required to indicate in their award
acceptance email whether they choose to participate in the peer support program.
