Call for Faculty Seed Grant Proposals
The Criminal Justice Research Center (CJRC) invites proposals relating to research on issues of Crime and Criminal Justice. We will consider faculty research proposals for internal funds (up to $10,000) to support research that will result in grant applications for external funds. This call will remain open, with no deadline, until CJRC available funds are expired. We welcome proposals relating to research on a wide range of topics, and from faculty from a variety of disciplines/schools. The CJRC will award individual grants ranging up to $10,000 to support research related expenses excluding faculty buy-out time or summer salary support. Priority will be given to work that has strong potential to compete for external awards from agencies such as NIH, NSF, NIJ, or other entities which embody CJRC's fostering of research on crime/delinquency and justice issues. Grant recipients are required to give a portion of indirects (e.g. 10 to 20 percent) from future, external grants based on or related to CJRC seed grant-funded research. In addition all presentations or publications resulting from support should acknowledge the Criminal Justice Research Center at OSU. All full-time (OSU) faculty whose appointments will continue to be active in the 2016-2017 academic year are eligible to submit an application. The announcement and associated materials are available.
The cover page, application and instructions are also available.
