FIU announced this week the Faculty Research Awards Program for 2006.  Faculty research is a primary objective of the University; this year’s program has been funded at $225,000, through combined resources from the Provost and the FIU.

For 2006, the Office of the Provost and the FIU Foundation are coming together to fund research projects submitted by eligible faculty, tenured and tenure-earning, with the purpose of advancing research at the University.  Awards of up to $25,000 will be considered for projects conducted for a period of up to 12 months.

Please review this year's guidelines carefully as new information has been added to accommodate for a streamlined submission process.  To access this year's guidelines online, please go to www.osra.fiu.edu and click on FACULTY RESEARCH AWARDS 2006 under "What's New."  Awards will be made upon merit following peer review.
