Grant Review and Administration
Applications are reviewed by the College Research Committee. In the event of a conflict of interest, reviewers will be selected from the ranks of MCN tenured/tenure track faculty. The College Research Committee along with the Associate Dean for Research will make final determinations regarding funding. Applicants will receive notification of funding status along with a written critique of the grant application on or before November 15th of the academic year. Funds will be available immediately.
Grant proposals are treated as confidential communication and will be shared only with members of the College Research Committee. Copies of funded proposals will be kept in the Office of Research, Scholarship, and Innovation. The names of funded researchers will be released to the faculty of MCN.
Submission Deadlines
MCN-IGs are awarded annually and funded by mid-Octobert of the calendar year. Grant proposals are due to the Chair of the College Research Committee by 5:00 p.m. the first week of October. Specific due date will be announced with the call for proposals from the College Research Committee chair.
Funding
Funds will be appropriated annually dependent on funding availability and the number of grant applications in each category. Appropriations will be guided by the philosophy that MCN-IG funds are intended for new researchers and that senior faculty members will have the expertise to obtain external funding for research. Appropriations will be awarded based primarily on the strength of the proposal. Priority for funding will be given to junior faculty in the College. Applications for continued funding will be considered and based on review of the study’s progress and accomplishments. The maximum budget request for MCN Pilot Funds is $4000. The maximum budget request for MCN Research/Scholarship Grants is $3000.
