COE Research

The College of Education works continuously to establish and sustain preeminence in interdisciplinary and collaborative research and discovery. 

Research Initiatives:
The COE Grant Submission Incentive Program: To encourage faculty to submit, revise and resubmit grants, the Dean's office offers monetary incentives for PIs and co-PIs. Other incentives are also available or can be negotiated pre - or post-award.

Consultations: The Dean's office can help you with reviews and consultations on grants, manuscripts, and related materials. Given enough time, this can occur before submission or resubmission. Reviewers may include internal or external consultants as needed.

Travel and Research Development Fund:  Access to this fund to aid with grant submissions, collaborative meetings, presentation, or conference travel, etc. Some funds are earmarked for pre-tenure faculty and funds for other faculty are available on a case-by-case basis.

PRF International Travel Awards: The date for application is indefinitely extended until we have spent these funds. Please submit your application to Kimberly McCutchan. See the Office of the Vice President for Research funding site for more information.

Grant Examples:  Examples of grants, letters of intent, descriptions of resources, example budgets, etc. in electronic form are available.  Contact Kimberly McCutchan for details.

Faculty/Personnel Data Bases:  Databases with e-copies of personnel bios, interests and expertise, have been formed. If you are not part of these databases but wish to be, or if your information needs updating, please contact Kimberly McCutchan. (Your department heads may have already asked you for CV updates.) Two databases that you should definitely be part of are: the College of Education Expertise Database, and the Community of Science (COS) Expertise. 

Faculty Project Funding: If you have an idea for a project that needs some sort of funding and you want help considering nonfederal sources, you might submit your idea, even if it is just a phrase or two, to the Dean's office. Use the Development Overview for Project Funding Form on my website. Your idea and potential funding resources will be considered by the development, discovery, and engagement/learning offices. We will get back to you with some possible resources or other suggestions.

Search for Funding Agencies: The Dean's office will conduct a search for federal funding resources for you if you submit some keywords or ideas to us. Simply send an email to Kimberly McCutchan (copy Jeff Gilger) with the subject "Funding Search" and include at least several key words, and/or other ideas, topic descriptions, needs, etc. We will get back to you soon with a funding resource report.
