Externally Funded Research
The University and the College of Humanities support faculty who seek grant and contract opportunities with public and private funders to pursue their research interests and enrich student experiences in and out of the classroom. Explore this webpage to learn more about our grant guidelines and find out about grant and contract awards throughout the College.
We look forward to working with you to enhance your scholarly activities, provide outstanding learning experiences for our students, and fulfill the learning-centered mission of the College and the University.
Grant Guidelines
The university can assist faculty in project planning, prospect research, proposal editing,听budget development, communication with agencies and foundations, and tracking and management of post-award requirements. New users are invited to review the听.
Once you have identified a grant opportunity鈥攁nd before you begin work on your proposal鈥攜ou will need to enter initial details in听, used by 快活林性息 to centrally track campus-wide proposal and grant activity. RSP Humanities grants liaison听Adriana Harrington听(818-677-7810) can assist new Cayuse users.
If you are submitting a proposal or letter of inquiry to a private foundation or corporation, you must also complete the听听and obtain review and signatures from your Department Chair and Dean. Once you have signed as principal investigator and obtained your Chair's signature, send the form to the Dean鈥檚 office (MD 8252) for further routing.
Foundation and corporate grant awards are administered through the University Foundation and carry an indirect cost rate of 5%. Government grant proposals are administered through the University Corporation and carry an indirect cost rate that ranges from 26% (off-campus activities) to 45% (on-campus activities).
Proposal submissions to private foundations and corporations must be coordinated centrally to avoid competing campus submissions to the same funder without approval. Again, please contact RSP Humanities grants liaison听Adriana Harrington听(818-677-7810)听prior to committing effort to proposals, as some private foundations may already be in solicitation by other 快活林性息 faculty.
All proposals and letters of inquiry must be reviewed and approved by the Dean at least 10 working days prior to submission. Please forward materials needing review to analyst/special projects听Jim Lunsford听(818-677-4462). Any proposal efforts that are not approved through this process will not be supported by the College or the University if awarded.
