External Funding Activity
• We’ve had 43 grant proposals submitted so far this year, which is a high level of activity. That’s a positive trend!
• However, actual awards for the year are only at $1.3m, which is behind where we were at this time a year ago.
• Across campus, more proposals are on hold or being declined this year due to the budget uncertainties in Washington.

Internal Competitions
• PRF Grants
• Application deadline is next Tuesday, Jan. 22.
• Allocations are expected to be similar to recent years.
• Non-Laboratory Research Infrastructure and Equipment Grants
• Faculty members in the College of Education submitted 9 successful proposals (a number of which involved more than one faculty member) that totaled more than $30,000. Congratulations!
• This competition will be repeated next year, so if you have research equipment/infrastructure needs, be thinking about making a request.
• Incentive Grants
• Award letters for successful Category II proposals (single investigator or discipline) are expected to be forthcoming within a week or so. They are expected to be “distributed across many units” on campus.
• Decisions regarding Category I proposals (multidisciplinary) will probably not be made until the end of February.
