SUBMISSION
Individuals applying for multiple seed grants (summer fellowship, grant-in-aid) should submit them as one combined proposal. It is important that the proposals submitted follow the appropriate guidelines. The proposal will be evaluated by some members outside the investigator’s immediate discipline therefore, it must be written clearly so as to be understandable by all members of the review subcommittee.
Proposals that involve human and/or animal subjects will require additional review by the IRB or the IACUC. The investigator must file the appropriate forms detailing the use of human subjects and/or animals subsequent to submitting the proposal for a Research Council Seed Grant and prior to receiving funding for the project.
Proposals must be submitted both by hard copy (one copy with signatures) to the Office for Research, Zip 0102, and electronically in PDF format. Email electronic copy to research@udayton.edu.
