Grant Proposal Submissions

The focus of all proposals must be consistent with the mission of the Institute and/or directly related to current activities or programs of the Institute. Preference goes to funding for seeding new work (with keen attention paid to its potential and "risk-reward" ratio), but funding is also available to assist continuation of on-going research. In the latter case, the proposal must show current funding, focus and purpose of research, indicate why additional funding is being sought and expected outcome. Funds can also be used to hire student research assistants, to develop new programs or specific courses or develop or purchase specific teaching aid(s) or material(s).

Grants Size and Duration

Awards are for one year and are of two types:

• One award of up to $40,000
• A number of awards of up to $25,000

The expectation is that awards will be spent out within one year unless an extension is requested in writing and granted by the Institute Director. The Institute reserves the right to make no awards if it is deemed no proposals meet the Fellowships Working Group's opinion of appropriateness.

Eligibility

Grants are open to all Dartmouth faculty, of any rank, including the undergraduate, graduate and the professional schools. Collaborators may be from Dartmouth or outside the campus and may include undergraduate and graduate students, junior faculty and independent scholars. Funds may not be used for PI salary. Preference may be given to faculty who have not received funding from any other Dartmouth source within the past three (3) years.
