The General Research Fund (GRF) is a competitive award program
that provides funding for the advancement of the university's
research program. The Office of the Vice Provost for Research
provides funds to each school or college and assists in the administration
of these funds. The vice provost for research has delegated to
each entity the responsibility for awarding the funds. Each entity
determines proposal criteria and has its own review committee,
guidelines, application forms, application process and submission
deadline. The Faculty Senate Research Committee is responsible
for reviewing reports submitted by each school or college outlining
the progress each entity has made in meeting its research goals.
The allocation of funds to all entities for the following three-year
period will be determined by this review.
Each faculty member on the Lawrence campus is eligible to submit
one GRF proposal to his or her school or college as the principal
investigator. Awards will be made based on the merit of the proposal,
which includes the scholarly excellence of the proposal and its
benefit to the university and to the individual researcher. Each
entity may add additional proposal criteria as they deem appropriate.
All funds are awarded for a one-year period (July 1 to June 30)
and may be used for summer salary, student or GRA salary, supplies
and travel. The State of Kansas does not allow payment of tuition
with these funds.
In the table below you will find the contact and submission
information for each entity. Please contact the applicable entity
for detailed application information.
