All RDC grant proposals must be submitted electronically and in paper format with proper approval signatures. For details, see the guidelines for the relevant type of RDC grant.
The Research Development Committee (RDC), composed of two faculty members from each college, is responsible for distributing internal funds to support research. These funds are administered by the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs Administration (ORSPA) on behalf of the RDC. The RDC approves budgetary allocation of the funds available for the fiscal year, evaluates grant applications, and selects those to be supported.
RDC grants are intended to support and encourage research which is broadly interpreted to include the sciences and non-sciences, including the humanities and the fine and performing arts. Grants are awarded for the fiscal year July 1 through June 30. Any RDC allocated money must be spent within this time period. See the official policy in the faculty handbook.
RDC members are available for consultation to assist applicants in the preparation of the application form, budget, budget justification and proposal. Additionally, the ORSPA staff can answer questions that applicants may have and provide examples of recently funded proposals.
Recipients are asked to acknowledge RDC funding in any publications or presentations with this statement:
This work was funded all or in part by a grant from the East Tennessee State University
Research Development Committee Major/Small/Interdisciplinary Grants Program.
