The Research Grant Support Program - Social Sciences (RGSP-SS)
In collaboration with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and OSSR, we are proud to announce the following new grant program.
Applications will contribute to the continued growth of the Social Sciences as a research community through the identification, development and submission of external funding proposals.
This program is designed to provide support for faculty in the Social Sciences, for small research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources.
Awards that lead to new, external grant proposals will receive priority in funding. Interdisciplinary applications for social science research will be welcomed.
