Hi Kathleen,

We have several small grants available to faculty for research and creative activities.  The Project Development Award provides up to one quarter release time spread over at least two quarters.  Brief descriptions of these small grants are available at:  http://www.wwu.edu/depts/rsp/internalfund.html

Best,

Tracey

Hello Colleagues:

Bridgewater State College is considering instituting a program that would provide small grants--basically one  course release--to prospective PI's to give them time to develop large, involved grant applications. We have one model, from URI, of such a program. Can anyone else provide models or thoughts of similar programs?
