Faculty incentive grants

Hello, everyone, 
Thanks to all who responded to my request for faculty incentive grant forms. 
They were quite helpful to our grants committee. Several asked me to compile 
them and post to the list, so I am sending most of them along.  I have pasted 
below one of the responses and attached several others. A few files that were 
sent did not open, so sorry if yours is missing.
Thanks again,
Jan Shoemaker

From Jeff Howard:
ELIGIBILITY

Proposals are invited from all assistant, associate, or full professors who 
hold regular teaching appointments.  Because funds are limited, applicants 
may request funding up to $1,000.  Illustrative items for funding include 
student assistance, transportation, guest speaker honoraria, curricular 
planning, and community agency support - but not equipment, supplies, or 
items normally provided by academic units.  The funding period expires August 
31, 1999.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

To be considered for funding, applicants should submit a two-to-three page 
proposal that includes the course title, semester course will be taught, and 
the estimated number of students.  It should describe the course objectives, 
pedagogical procedures, and a budget for needed resources.  And it should 
describe how community-based research and service-learning will be integrated 
into the course and the expected effects on students and the community.

IMMEDIATE DEADLINE

Proposals must be submitted by November 23 to be considered, with 
announcements made by December 3.  We regret the immediacy of the deadline 
made necessary by the funder's timetable.

Funding for this program is provided by the Bonner Foundation with support
from the Corporation for National Service's Learn and Serve Program.

Proposals should be sent as e-mail attachments to Jeffrey Howard 
(jphoward@umich.edu).

NEW COMMUNITY-BASED RESOURCE AT THE UNIVERSITY

A searchable data-base for University - Community Research Partnerships
will link university faculty and students with community-based organizations 
seeking research assistance.  This data-base may prove helpful to applicants 
in identifying community-based organizations that seek researchers.  The URL 
is:

Questions about this call or the data-base may be directed to Jeffrey Howard.

Thank you.

Jeff
