Internal Funding for Research at UNCG
Numerous opportunities exist for faculty to obtain support for their research programs. They include research grants, travel, publication subsidies in support of publication, media development and exhibitions; and undergraduate research assistantships.
Research Grants
- The Office of Research and Public / Private Sector Partnerships provides intramural research support in the form of competitive grants for which faculty can apply. These funds are to be used to initiate or enhance research, scholarship, and creative activity to make faculty more competitive to obtain extramural funds. There are three types of intramural grants.
- New Faculty Research Grants. These grants are awarded to untenured, tenure-track faculty below the rank of professor in their first year of appointment. Click here for more information.
- Regular Faculty Research Grants . These grants are awarded to tenured, tenure-track, and clinical and applied professional faculty. Click here for more information.
- Summer Excellence Research Grants . These grants are awarded to untenured, tenure-track faculty and are used exclusively for summer salary. Click here for more information.
- For international research the International Program Center offers additional support for a New Faculty Research Grant, a Regular Faculty Research Grant, or a Summer Excellence Research Grant through the Kohler Fund. Application for this support is done in conjunction with an application for a New Faculty Research Grant, a Regular Faculty Research Grant, or a Summer Excellence Research Grant.
- The Linda Arnold Carlisle Faculty Research Grants are awarded to faculty to support research or creative activity related to women's and gender studies. Information is available at http://www.uncg.edu/wms/secondary_pages/financial.html#fa.
