信息 & FRF申请人建议指引

Read below to learn the purpose of the 教职员研究基金 (FRF), the kinds of activities that are 和 are not supported, 和 the principal criteria 和 priorities used in making funding decisions. 这个项目与教授基金的不同之处在于，它针对的是规模较小的项目，其实际费用最高可达3000美元. 资助决定将由教务参议院学术规划委员会(APC)与负责研究和研究生教育的高级副教务长合作做出.

目的

FRF资助的目的是激发MG线上电子游戏学教师的研究、奖学金和创造性活动. 

资格

所有被任命的教师都有资格获得FRF资助(兼职教师没有资格获得这项资助)。. All eligible faculty are encouraged to apply; however, 在拨款方面, 优先考虑以下事项:

  • 助理教授 
  • Applicants from the 教学 和 Professional 教师 和 Library series 
  • 在过去三年内未曾获此基金资助的申请人 
  • 在过去两年内没有获得其他内部资助的申请人 
  • Applicants who have not received external funding for the proposed project
  • Development of scholarly 和 creative products (e.g., research or fabrication) versus only dissemination (e.g.、出版或展览) 

*请注意，每个资助周期每个教员只能申请一个项目的资助申请. 

基金的使用

FRF资金用于支付正常部门支持以外的教师费用. They are not intended to relieve departmental budgets. Most expenses for research 和 creative activity are eligible. 例如, 资金可以用来支付材料, 专用设备, 研究助理, copying from archives 和 special collections, 抄录采访, 编码数据, 复制和邮寄问卷, 出版版面收费. Funds can also be used to cover necessary travel (e.g.(交通、住房和膳食). 

A small number of expenses, however, are explicitly excluded from FRF support. 不会为以下项目提供资金: 

  • 教师的工资 
  • 课程发布 
  • 学生研究(i).e.，用于学生自己的项目) 
  • 参加会议  
  • 课程开发 
  • 日常办公费用 

Ordinarily, grants are made only for expenses that have not yet been incurred. 然而, 例如，如果在FRF申请截止日期之间的一段时间内出现了一个时间敏感的机会, an interview subject becomes unexpectedly available, or while working in an archive in city A, 一个人发现了b市的材料——可以在下一个申请截止日期提交追溯资助的请求. 在FRF提案周期之前，解释需要费用的机会的时间和性质. Such requests will be evaluated solely based on the established criteria, without consideration of the timing of the expense. 

Funds ordinarily must be spent within 24 months of the grant award date. 然而, if you know of a research opportunity a year in advance, you need not wait until the closest deadline to request FRF support. 

If in doubt about whether your activity meets the guidelines for funding, please contact the Vice Provost for Research (科琳.lengfeld@pomeu.net) or the Chair of the 教师参议院 Academic Planning Committee (珍妮花.campbell@pomeu.net).  

选择标准

Evaluation of proposals will be based on the following: 

  • Clear conceptual development of the research issue 
  • Clear rationale for the project 和 a discussion of why it is important 
  • 预算的适当性——每项资助的费用都必须有资格得到支持，并有明确的理由 
  • 建议的工作对教师专业发展的重要性 
  • Potential for enhancing the reputation of the faculty member, 学术单位, 和 the 新MG线上电子游戏 as seen in the likelihood of eventual publication, 展览, 或性能 
  • 在时间和预算范围内成功完成项目的可能性 
  • 合格标准

  • 4. 叙述

    注意用APC成员(他们来自许多不同的学科)可以理解的方式写作，并保持1000字的限制, 请提供一个简短的叙述，描述你的项目和你打算如何使用FRF资金. Your narrative will be judged by the following six criteria, 你应在各自的文本框内，并在字数限制内清楚说明:

    • 概念: 描述你研究的目的, 你的方法, 和 how you will use or disseminate the completed work. 请记住，您是写给可能不熟悉特定领域实践和技术术语的非专业同事的, so include definitions or context required to underst和 the project. (最多600字)

    请使用这些副标题，这样APC可以很容易地看出你在哪里满足了这六个标准. 记住, the APC is made up of your colleagues from across campus who may not be knowledgeable about your field; please make sure that your narrative is clear, 简洁的, 和非技术.

    以下是一些有用的建议: 

    • If you want the FRF to pay for a research assistant, specify: 如何 much are you paying the person per hour? 根据大学和/或专业领域的薪酬表，这种薪酬率的理由是什么? 你如何确定研究助理完成某项活动需要多少小时? 
    • University pay rates for student labor range from about $19-$26 per hour, 这取决于学生支持的类型以及他们的经验和专业水平. 查看更多指导 工资率和职位分类.
