or to present the results of research at international conferences.
Grants normally range from $300 – $500, although proposals
meeting the review criteria may receive additional support.
Tenured, tenure-track, and clinical faculty members at the
University of Iowa are eligible. In an effort to provide
resources and opportunities leading to tenure, junior faculty
will receive a slightly higher level of support.
Applicants are required
to contact their department and/or college for initial financial
support and should include in their application and as part
of their budget a clear indication of the level of support
that each unit is providing. Applications will be reviewed
five times each year by a faculty committee.
