Temporary Funding in Response to Grant Terminations

The Provost’s Office and Office of Research are able to provide temporary funding to faculty members whose grants have been paused or terminated AND who have exhausted all other sources of funding (e.g., 9th ledger, DROP funds, etc.).

By default, temporary funding will be offered for 30 days from the last date spending is allowed. To receive this funding, researchers must contact the Office of Research and detail budgetary information of the amount needed. Requests for extending funding will be considered on an ad hoc basis and must be submitted within the 30-day period.

The primary purpose of the temporary funding is to support research operations while the faculty member seeks alternate funding. The program is not intended to fully replace the terminated funding but to help students and staff transition to other support. Funds will only be awarded to those faculty members who have exhausted all other sources of funding (e.g. 9^th ledger, DROP funds, etc.).

Priority for extended funding will be given to (in order)

• Graduate students close to finishing a Masters or PhD
• Other graduate students
• Undergraduate students

Funding Criteria

• Full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty whose grants have been terminated or paused.
• Applications must be received within the 30-day default period
• Other sources of funding should be exhausted

Funding is not guaranteed and will depend in part on available funds.

All requests must include the following information:

• A cover letter describing the reasons why the funds are being requested.
• Current CV in standard format listing all peer-reviewed publications (listing all authors, title, year, volume, pages, and DOI) in the last 5 years.
• List of all grants in the last 5 years (agency, duration, amount, end date; also indicate “no-cost extension” status).
• Copies of the RF web reports for all accounts in the applicant’s name
• A budget detailing the funding request.
• A list of all proposals to be submitted in the next six months, providing full details of agency, duration, budget, and expected start date.
