STG Faculty Grants Program

Application Guidelines

To apply for an STG faculty grant, you should fill out the application form cover sheet and submit it to STG, along with a detailed project proposal, by the deadline. Proposals should be no longer than five pages and should cover the following:

-the project's content and goals
-the role of technology in achieving the project's aims
-practical requirements of the project (equipment, labor, timeline)

To assist faculty in formulating their proposals, STG staff will be available for one-on-one consulting in March and April. To sign up for a meeting, please come to the general information session (several weeks before the application deadline), or contact STG at 863-7231 or STG_info@brown.edu.

Funding for the faculty grants program comes from CIS through STG's budget. The grants are primarily intended to cover STG staff time and the costs of production for the project (for instance, transcription or conversion of data). In certain cases, the purchase of equipment not already available through STG may be included; in such cases, the equipment remains the property of CIS. If you have questions about particular situations, please contact STG. The following are not covered by the faculty grants program:

Student research assistants (except STG employees)
Computer purchases for faculty
Faculty release time
Travel
Intellectual property costs (e.g. permissions)
