Request For Proposals (notice in OSU Today and OSU This Week): Approximately Monday, March 24, 2008
Proposal Deadline: Monday, May 5, 2008
Award Announcement: Approximately Friday, May 23, 2008
The Faculty Release Time program provides limited funding for individuals developing external grant proposals or who wish to further their scholarly activities.
Tenure-track faculty. Preference will be given to new or junior faculty, (hired in the last three years) and to applicants who describe incisive, innovative research with a strong likelihood of funding. Senior faculty are eligible, particularly if the proposal being developed represents a change in direction for the faculty member's research or scholarship. Pre-approval must be obtained by both the department chair or head, and the college Dean prior to submittal. Full consideration for advance replacement and term scheduling should be evaluated, so as to avoid conflicts in class planning and preparation.
Award amounts range between $3,500 and $6,000. Approximately $35,000 will be allocated for the academic year 2007-08.
Applicants will be notified via email of award decisions by the announcement date listed at the top of this page. For a detailed list of prior awards see OSU Incentive Programs: Funded Proposals.
The Research Office will provide funds to support the cost of a replacement instructor to cover one course, or similar responsibilities, normally presented by the applicant. Funds provided are based on the actual cost of the replacement's salary, not on the applicant's salary.
The FRT application form is available in MS Word format. If you are unable to access this form, contact the Research Office (737-8390) to request a paper copy. Please allow one week for delivery.
Complete all sections of the application form.
Items 1-6, should be completed within the space provided.
Item 7, Research Compliance: Due to the regulatory compliance requirements inherent in research the PI must submit the proper forms and receive approval from the appropriate compliance committee(s) prior to the start of the research. A complete application will include marking the appropriate boxes in the Regulatory Compliance section.
Incomplete proposal packets will not be considered for funding.
All application materials, including supporting documentation, must be received in the Research Office, A312 Kerr Administration Building, by the deadline indicated at the top of this page.
The Vice President for Research Office reviews all materials and prepares summary data. Final funding and award decisions reside with the Vice President for Research.
Proposals are reviewed based on quality; especially noting those that present clear concepts and specific research methods. Considerations include realistic targeting of funding sources, why those sources should be pursued, and what the scholarly impact of the proposal would be.
Award recipients are to submit a one-page report at the end of term for which funds were awarded. Please submit the report electronically to Debbie Delmore at debbie.delmore@oregonstate.edu. Recipients who fail to submit the required report will be ineligible to receive future funding from the Research Office Incentive Programs.
