PFRDG & QOL Grant Applications, Due Feb. 17
The President’s Faculty Research and Development Grant (PFRDG) applications are due on February 17, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. For application guidelines and to access the application forms, please visit the PFRDG website at http://www.nova.edu/pfrdg. For questions and additional information, please email pfrdg@nova.edu. This year, there will be two categories of PFRDG Awards:
- Research Development: This track is the traditional PFRDG program, and will continue to provide funding up to $15,000 for research projects needing seed money for a new research area for which external funding will be sought, or that will move an existing project to a new level of competitiveness for external funding.
- NEW – Research Scholar: This track is new for FY 2018 and is designed to provide up to $3,000 for scholarly research that contributes to general knowledge of the discipline, but for which external funding is not a likely or expected outcome. Applicants in the disciplines of Humanities and Social Sciences (including Education, Business and Law) are encouraged to participate. Funding will support activities such as publications in scholarly journals, book chapters, or exhibitions.
Eligibility is open to all full-time faculty/research scientists. Applicants may not apply for both a Research Development and Research Scholar award in the same year.
