The 2017-18 Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity Competition is Now Open!

We are pleased to announce the launch of the 2017-2018 Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (RSCA) Competition! Internal submission deadline is Monday, February 27, 2017 for the award cycle 2017-2018.

The University Research and Grants Committee requests applications from faculty members for the annual competition for awards to support faculty research, scholarship and creative activity, interpreted broadly to mean the disciplined quest for broadening human understanding. This quest includes artistic creation and the study of moral values, as well as logical and empirical inquiry into any field appropriate to the functions of the University. Projects related to curriculum development will not be considered through this competition. Faculty are encouraged to use the activities and results from these awards to pursue external funding, if applicable, to broaden the scope of their research, scholarship and creative activities.
