Deadline:  End of each month

Maximum amount: $1,500

Small Research Grants may be requested to support modest costs of research such as supplies and travel to collect or analyze data, or information pertinent to an existing research project. Small Research Grants also may be used to defray the costs of journal article publication (i.e. page costs) and/or reprint costs. Support for reprints is based on availability of funds and reproducibility of manuscript. 

The RDC will not support publication costs, travel to conferences, travel to explore potential collaborations, clerical support for manuscript preparation, support for advanced degrees, preparation of theses or dissertations, publication of theses or dissertations for faculty or graduate assistants, or computer purchases.
