Trinity College Faculty Research Funding

In FY13-14 the Arts & Sciences Committee on Faculty Research (ASCFR) will be funding BOTH travel support AND a competitive internal research grant program.  This site will be updated as more details of the research grant competition become available.


There are still restrictions on requests for travel support.  If a faculty
member has a research or startup account s/he should use that account for scholarly/research travel.  Emeriti are eligible however non-regular rank faculty will not receive funding.  Trips are limited to no more than two per fiscal year (July 1- June 30), with funding totaling not more than $1,000 for the combined trips.  There is no financial distinction between foreign or domestic travel; awards are limited to $1,000.  Also, travel to an event where the faculty member is
only chairing a session will no longer be funded.  Please see page two of the meeting/travel support form for more details.


If you have any questions, please contact me.  My office phone is 919-660-3152, and my email is .
