Small Campus Grants

 

The Small Campus Grant provides funding for faculty members to begin typically smaller research projects by requesting up to $500. An application for a Travel Grant may be submitted at any time through the end of the Spring Semester  or until funds are depleted.  There are a total of 8 Small Campus Grants available.

Lock Haven University's Small Campus Research Grants are designed for smaller projects (typically under $500 in cost). These funds can be used for necessary services, supplies or equipment, non-commercial exhibitions, or travel to specialized research facilities. Classroom-oriented research as well as subject-based independent research will be considered for funding.

Full-time tenure-track faculty may apply for a maximum of $500 and full-time temporary faculty may apply for a maximum of $250. Travel to discipline related workshops which provide new knowledge and/or skills specifically related to the research project may be included in the request.  Workshops for certification credit or licensure do not apply. Information on the policies for this grant can be obtained by clicking on the Policies link below or from the FPDC chair . You may apply for a small campus research grant at any time until the deadline.
