INTERNAL RESEARCH GRANTS Robert Masella 16 May 1994 09:38 EST

Our internal grants program is mainly for newly arrived faculty, research teams
and well established research centers. However, has anyone on the discussion
list, have any experience with matching funding? I mean for example asking a
faculty member to find financial support for his/her research by a private
corporation and then having it matched by the internal grants program of the
university. Could we also ask the deans to match funding, since I would presume,
like us, these internal grants program are managed by the research offices of
the universities. Research partnerships programs between university and industry
are becoming more frequent in Canada, specially here in Quebec, and we are
looking at ways of having industry put in some funds in grants not always
contracts.

Anybody with any experience or good comments on this!

Thanks
