Funding/Expenses: Up to $1,500 may be used for operating costs to carry out the project, In addition to the funds, applicants may request a three-hour teaching load reduction for one semester during the first three years of appointment. Requests for course load reductions must be approved by the department head and college dean prior the printing of the coarse schedule for the specified term. Allowable Expenses: Travel vital to research; student labor and secretarial help (including fringe benefits) that cannot be provided through the departmental budget; special materials and equipment; books that cannot be obtained through interlibrary loan; necessary copy paper, stationery, supplies, and cost of copying; and stipends to research participants. Unallowable Expenses: Travel to present or attend a professional conference or travel to present results of the project; typing a manuscript for publication that was not a part of the internal grant activities; equipment or supplies which the applicant’s department could normally purchase through the departmental budget; books which the library would normally acquire as part of its holdings; salary or any reimbursement to the researcher for time spent on the project, editing of manuscript; and reimbursement for expenses incurred prior in the approval of the internal proposal.
