Steven D. Manners Faculty Development Awards
|
|
Overview
In memory of Steven Manners, who served as Assistant Director of the Center for many years, we are pleased
to announce the 11th annual development awards program in recognition of his contributions to the Center and
the University community. We will make two awards of up to $10,000 each. Faculty may apply for awards in
two categories:
- Research Development Grants to support pilot research in the social, behavioral, and policy sciences
- Infrastructure Development Awards aimed at enhancing faculty capabilities to carry out interdisciplinary research in the social, behavioral, and policy sciences
Activities to be Supported
Faculty may apply for either a Research Development Grant to support pilot research or an Infrastructure
Development Award. Research Development Grants are designed to provide support for carrying out pilot
research in the social and behavioral sciences that has the potential of leading to larger externally funded
projects. Infrastructure Development Awards are designed to enable faculty to develop, acquire, and
disseminate new research skills that enhance faculty capabilities in the social, behavioral, and policy sciences.
Examples include the acquisition of secondary data or new software, organizing a conference on cutting edge
analytic methods in the social and behavioral sciences, bringing in experts to carry out workshops on topics of
interest to the faculty, or creating interdisciplinary working groups to develop new research initiatives.
