OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR March 23, 1999 SUBJECT: Chancellor's Associates Faculty Grants - Deadline Date 3/31/99 Colleagues: To enrich the intellectual environment of our campus and community, I am setting aside a portion of the discretionary funds contributed by the Chancellor's Associates to support projects proposed by UCSD faculty. Distribution of these funds is designed to encourage the development of projects that will promote innovation and enhance intellectual exchange among scholars, researchers, students and the broader community. A selection committee made up of representatives from the Academic Senate, Academic Affairs, the Chancellor's Associates and External Relations will review proposals for faculty grants and will forward their recommendations to me. Last year fifty proposals were submitted in response to my call for requests and seventeen grants ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 were awarded. A copy of the grant guidelines and application format is attached. The deadline for proposals is March 31, 1999. Robert C. Dynes Chancellor ************************************************************************ CHANCELLOR'S ASSOCIATES FACULTY GRANT APPLICATION The Chancellor of UCSD has a discretionary fund derived from the annual private contributions made by members of the Chancellor's Associates. From time to time portions of this fund may be allocated for projects initiated by members of the faculty. Academically oriented projects will receive priority. Guidelines for making grants are as follows: 1) Grants are made on a one-time-only basis, for a maximum of $10,000. 2) Other sources of funding, including matching grants, should be investigated before applying. 3) Consideration will be given to achieving an equitable distribution of grants among the various academic divisions. 4) Special consideration will be given to projects that: a) will bring significant benefits to the campus and the community; b) are innovative and do not fit easily into categories usually funded by other sources; c) are proposed by junior faculty; d) require seed money in order to attract extra-mural funding. 5) In most instances, Chancellor's Associates grants will not be made for the full cost of a program or project. 6) Funding of student fees for research assistants is allowed, but grants will not be made to fund undergraduate scholarships or graduate fellowships. 7) Grants are not made to fund deficits incurred for an event or project that has already been completed. 8) Grants are not made to fund travel or living expenses to conduct research.
