Community College Collaborative Incentive Research Grant Program, Round 6

REVISED PROCEDURES FOR ROUND 6 - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research has developed new procedures through which requests for funding through the Community College Incentive Research Grant Program (CCIRG) will be managed. As part of this new procedure, all interested faculty must submit a Letter of Intent (linked below) as the primary step in the CCIRG competition.

The Letter of Intent serves two important purposes:

1) it provides an opportunity to guide prospective applicants early in the proposal process, giving each submission a greater probability of being funded; and

2) it reinforces the nature of this program- to provide funds to seed research activities that will increase competitiveness for external funding.

Upon receipt of submitted Letters of Intent, an independent panel of senior faculty will determine which projects best meet the intent of the program and only those will be encouraged to submit full proposals.

We thank you for your interest in the CCIRG program.

Instructions:

Please complete your Letter of Intent (linked below), providing all pertinent information denoted by bold text. A completed hard copy of your letter must be received by our office no later than 5PM on Wednesday, February 11, 2009. Your letter may not exceed two typewritten pages.
