Timeline
Applying
Faculty Grants
We fund projects throughout the year in two "grant terms" (summer and the academic year), but applications are reviewed and awarded annually in the spring.
Grant Terms
Summer
Summer term proposal timelines should span most of the award period (from the end of the Spring term to the beginning of the Fall term) and come to a distinct, if not final, conclusion by the end of the term.
Academic Year
Academic Year term proposal timelines should span most of the award period (from the beginning of the Fall term to the end of the Spring term) and come to a distinct, if not final, conclusion by the end of the term.
Multiple Submissions
Applicants may submit proposals for projects in the summer and/or academic year at the same time and should be aware that budgetary limitations often restrict our ability to fund more than one proposal in any application cycle. If applicants plan to submit proposals for more than one grant term, they must submit separate applications for each–and should be aware that proposals may be reviewed separately.
Continuing Projects
Applicants may submit proposals for projects that extend beyond the grant term, but all proposals should come to a distinct, if not final, conclusion by the end of the term.
Fall or Spring-Only Projects
UROP does not currently offer fall or spring-only grants.
