MLFTC Internal Research Grant Program

Overview

<p>The Office of Scholarship & Innovation (<a href="http://education.asu.edu/oofsi/&quot; target="_blank">http://education.asu.edu/oofsi/</a&gt;) has funds available to support impactful research and scholarly community building. This is an opportunity for faculty members across the college to receive financial support to pursue their individual and collective scholarly interests.  </p> <p>The 2019-20 funds are available under 2 broad strands:  </p> <ol> <li><strong>Research Grants</strong>: These funds are to support individual or group research projects intended to have a clear, visible impact (support external grant funding, publications, etc.). Grants will be evaluated by a team of peers on the following criteria: intellectual merit, feasibility, and promise of impact, including relevant external funding opportunities as a result of this research. Additional evaluation weight will be placed on proposals from early career faculty, proposals that are interdisciplinary and/or collaborative, discuss broader impact beyond the grant period, and request a reasonable budget. These grants are available to all full-time clinical or tenure-track MLFTC faculty, except for those who received a research grant in 2018-19. </li> <li><strong>Learning Community Grants</strong>: These funds support the establishment of informal groups of faculty and graduate students around a topic of shared interest. Grants will be evaluated by a committee of members of the college leadership team, based on three main criteria: importance of the topic, strategy for building community, and plans for sustaining it over time. These grants are available to all clinical, tenured or tenure-track MLFTC faculty. Existing Learning Communities are eligible to apply for a second year of funding, assuming relevant justification.</li> </ol>
