Research Excellence Awards

REC grants fund projects to initiate new areas of research and creative production, to conduct pilot and planning projects for larger, externally-funded projects, or to prepare work for publication. Faculty and staff who have not received REC funds for two (2) years are eligible.

Allowable expenses include the payment of subjects, research assistants or other non-faculty personnel, necessary equipment and supplies, or travel that is essential to conducting the research (travel to conferences is not allowed).
