OBJECTIVES

Intended to support research and creative activity with modest subsidies at critical times. This program is designed specifically for senior researchers and scholars who, though retired from professional duties at IUB, continue to pursue active research interests and keep close ties with their departments.

AWARD

Maximum award is $2,000 for a duration of two years

CONDITIONS

Grants-in-Aid of Research may be used for any specific and necessary research expense for which funds are not available through other external or internal sources. These may include small equipment including computers and computer accessories, special supplies, wages for hourly technical assistants, and travel to research libraries for materials that can not be accessed any other way.  The support cannot normally be used for travel to present an invited research paper at a meeting of a professional society, books or other assistance that is usually provided by other university or external sources.  The grant cannot be used as a subvention for publication of a book or monograph, and it may not be applied to defray the recipient's living expenses.

ELIGIBILITY

IUB retired faculty only. Distinguished retired faculty are not eligible for this grant but can request support from the Retired Distinguished Faculty Research fund.
