2015 Faculty Research Development Program
Link to full call for proposals: 2015-16 Faculty Research Development Program
The Faculty Research Development Program, administered through faculty research fellowships, faculty research grants and collaborative research awards was established specifically to foster the development of nationally or internationally peer-reviewed scholarly and/or creative work. The program seeks to advance the College as a community of nationally recognized scholars, researchers, designers and creative artists.
In this grant cycle, AY 2015-2016, the CAAH Faculty Research Development Program will fund three programs:
1. Faculty Research Fellowships – non-sabbatical research-related course releases for one semester that assist faculty in the pursuit of specific research projects.
2. Faculty Research Grants – grants for travel, equipment and other expenses related to research activities. Each grant has a maximum award level of $3,000.
3. Collaborative Research Grants – endeavors that are potentially transformative for the participating investigators and their disciplines. Primary consideration will be given to proposals focusing on inter-college collaborations. Proposals within CAAH departments, or with faculty outside Clemson, will not be considered. Three awards are anticipated, totaling $7,500.
Deadline: Proposals are due to CAAH Office of Research and Graduate Studies @ by January 30, 2015.
URGC
Clemson University URGC Project Completion Grants
Each application may request up to $10,000 in direct costs; there are no F&A (indirect)
costs on the awards.
ELIGIBILITY
Proposals are solicited from University faculty to support the research in order to successfully compete for external funding. Eligible faculty are those with tenure, tenure-track, or emeritus faculty status. The committee makes grants to new faculty members initiating research and to faculty members initiating research in a new area or in areas where other sources of support are inadequate or nonexistent. An individual can only submit one proposal either as a PI or a Co-PI (not both). Faculty who received a URGC grant within the last two years as a PI or a Co-PI, i.e.,
2013-2014 or 2014-2015 are ineligible. Also ineligible are Principal Investigators who
previously failed to submit final URGC post-award reports with acceptable deliverables. The URGC makes every effort to fund meritorious projects from all disciplines. Collaborations are encouraged.
Deadline: Please note the new University routing process for this program. Only those proposals submitted on time through InfoEd will be reviewed. To ensure that all electronic signatures are received on time, please notify by January 15, 2015 of your intent to apply. All proposals must be in InfoED for routing not later than Wednesday, January 28, 2015 per the URGC guidelines. Our office is available to answer questions, and assist with the process.
All proposal documents, including electronic signatures, must be received by 4:30 p.m., February 2, 2015 in InfoEd PD. Only those proposals submitted on time through InfoEd will be reviewed.

Foundation-OSP Roadshows
The Office of Foundation Relations and the Proposal Development Center have teamed up to educate Clemson faculty about current funding trends with national foundations. I write to invite you to join us for a Brown Bag Lunch discussion on the foundation proposal process leading to research funding opportunities. The goal of this discussion is to help CAAH faculty members take advantage of ongoing/current funding opportunities and to work with OSP and the Office of Foundation Relations to begin to think more strategically about how to work with private foundations.
Devon Stein, Director of Foundation Relations, will provide CAAH faculty with information about national foundations, detail the topic areas that are currently of interest to foundations, and explain how to work effectively with foundations.
Sarah Jaeschke of the Proposal Development Center will explain how the Office of Sponsored Programs support centers fit into the foundation proposal process and will highlight the efforts that OSP is making to strengthen its working relationship with Corporate and Foundation Relations.
Location: 206 Strode
Date: Tuesday January 13. 2015
Time: 12:00 – 1:00 PM

National Endowment for the Humanities
Title: Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities
http://www.neh.gov/grants/odh/institutes-advanced-topics-in-the-digital-humanities
NEH grants support national or regional (multistate) training programs for scholars and advanced graduate students to broaden and extend their knowledge of digital humanities. Through these programs, NEH seeks to increase the number of humanities scholars using digital technology in their research and to broadly disseminate knowledge about advanced technology tools and methodologies relevant to the humanities. The projects may be a single opportunity or offered multiple times to different audiences. Institutes may be as short as a few days and held at multiple locations or as long as six weeks at a single site. For example, training opportunities could be offered before or after regularly occurring scholarly meetings, during the summer months, or during appropriate times of the academic year. The duration of a program should allow for full and thorough treatment of the topic. Today, complex data¿its form, manipulation, and interpretation¿are as important to humanities study as more traditional research materials. Datasets, for example, may represent digitized historical records, high-quality image data, or even multimedia collections, all of which are increasing in number due to the availability and affordability of mass data storage devices and international initiatives to create digital content. Moreover, extensive networking capabilities, sophisticated analytical tools, and new collaboration platforms are simultaneously providing and improving interactive access to and analysis of these data as well as a multitude of other resources. The Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities program seeks to enable humanities scholars in the United States to incorporate advances like these into their scholarship and teaching.
Deadline: March 10, 2015
