On-Campus Opportunities
CSUN Competition for Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity Awards
The office of Research and Sponsored Projects sponsors its own internal grant competition. Faculty may apply for 3 units of release time or a $5,000 mini-grant. In concert with the campus-wide effort to support scholarly activity by probationary faculty, those who have been at CSUN for 5 years or less are strongly encouraged to apply.
Awards should:
- Initiate a project with the expectation that the faculty member will apply for external funding or
- Enable faculty to complete research or a creative project.
Proposals are reviewed by the Research and Grants Committee.
Application Deadline: The deadline for the 2009/10 competition has passed. Check back in December 2009 for the guidelines and application for the 2010/11 competition.
