Rationale for these procedures
Part of the core mission of the department is to encourage, support, and hold in high esteem the scholarly accomplishments of its faculty. The submission of applications for external support of research (i.e., grant proposals) is often a first step toward producing scholarly work. Accordingly, proposal submission is a highly valued activity, and the department maintains resources—faculty and staff in research services and finance—to assist faculty investigators with this process. A listing of current personnel in the department who can help with these tasks is located here.
We encourage all faculty to take full advantage of these services. However, our finance and research resources are in high demand, particularly when multiple proposals are being prepared simultaneously. It is the department’s goal to distribute these resources rationally and assure faculty of their equitable availability—not only for the production of competitive grant applications, but also the subsequent conduct of the actual research projects and the development of articles, book chapters, meeting abstracts, and other dissemination products.
To assure careful husbandry of our resources, we ask all faculty who are developing a proposal to adhere to the department’s deadlines and related guidelines for interacting with personnel in the department main office and Research Program. These deadlines and guidelines are designed to foster high quality scholarship—proposals of the highest quality, excellent research, timely dissemination of findings—while engendering a larger sense of cooperation and respect for the many persons involved in getting a proposal submitted.
