Provost's Incentive Grants
for Faculty Research, Scholarship, and Creativity
Applications are now being accepted for the 2004–2005 Provost's Incentive Grants for Faculty Research, Scholarship, and Creativity. Awards of up to $1,000 are available for tenured and tenure-track faculty members to assist with travel, research, exhibitions, and other scholarly activities. Preference will be given to those projects that result in refereed publications, juried exhibitions or invitational solo showings, and/or presentations at professional conferences.
A selection committee of Buffalo State faculty members will read and evaluate all applications. An important consideration in the selection of grant awardees will be the likelihood that the applicant will benefit professionally. Awardees will be asked to participate in the 2005–2006 Faculty and Staff Scholarship and Creativity Celebration.
Application information is available in the Academic Affairs Office, Cleveland Hall 519; applications must be returned to that office by Monday, January 31. Please call Janet Ramsey, ext. 4554, with questions.
