University Research Council

The Center for Faculty Development and Excellence now hosts the University Research Council or URC. The URC is a standing committee of the Faculty Council responsible for awarding small research grants to University faculty.

Research is defined as scholarly pursuit according to the guidelines of your discipline. These funds are intended to help researchers achieve short-term research goals that can be accomplished in one year. These projects often provide preliminary data needed for extramural grant applications. Grants are peer reviewed and ranked for quality and impact. URC grants are not intended as a continuing source of funding.
