Rutgers Research Council Seeks Potential New Members
Rutgers Research Council is interested in developing a pool of potential new members. The Research Council is a universitywide faculty committee that advises the Office of Research and Economic Development on a special program that provides small grants to faculty every year. The awards are made as the result of peer review of proposals submitted by faculty for funding of research and creative work, as well as subvention for scholarly books. Research Council members participate in broadly-defined disciplinary subcommittees to review applications once a year in the spring. Reviews are conducted online; the committees meet to make their formal rec
ommendations once a year in early May. Appointments to the committee are made for renewable three-year terms.
Members of the Research Council find that having the opportunity to support faculty research projects is an extremely rewarding way to serve the university's academic mission. If you are interested, please contact
Ana Santini, program administrator for the Research Council.
