The\u00a0Faculty\u00a0Research\u00a0Fund Program assists\u00a0faculty\u00a0in establishing or maintaining high-quality\u00a0research\u00a0programs and other creative achievements. The Vice President for\u00a0Research\u00a0and Dean of the Graduate School provides\u00a0funds\u00a0for this program and proposals are reviewed by a panel of\u00a0faculty\u00a0peers.\u00a0 Eligibility is limited to full-time 91±¬ΑΟ and UMM\u00a0faculty,\u00a0which includes tenured, tenure-eligible, and soft-money\u00a0faculty\u00a0for whom\u00a0research\u00a0is an expected component of their appointment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are three competitive programs with a common application framework and a shared deadline.\u00a0The funding tracks are as follows: Regular\u00a0Faculty\u00a0Research\u00a0Awards (up to $10,000); Summer\u00a0Faculty\u00a0Research\u00a0Awards (fixed at $8,000); and Scholarly Equipment and Materials (up to $10,000). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Projects proposed to any of these tracks should be oriented towards concrete and relevant-to-discipline outputs. Such outputs may include performances, showings, publications, grant proposals, or others. When the\u00a0Faculty\u00a0Research\u00a0Funds\u00a0Committee weighs funding decisions for comparable proposals, it normally gives priority to tenure-track members of the 91±¬ΑΟ\/UMM\u00a0faculty\u00a0and to\u00a0faculty\u00a0members who propose to redirect their\u00a0research\u00a0programs. Award of FRF\u00a0funds\u00a0is based only on the quality of the application and proposed project, with no preference given to specific disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Complete competition details are available on the\u00a0InfoReady platform<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information or questions about the application portal, please contact Saul Allen (saul.allen@maine.edu<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The\u00a0Faculty\u00a0Research\u00a0Fund Program assists\u00a0faculty\u00a0in establishing or maintaining high-quality\u00a0research\u00a0programs and other creative achievements.
