Winthrop University Research Council

Mission Statement
Given that learning is at the heart of the life
and mission of Winthrop University, the Research Council
supports the creation and sharing of knowledge by faculty,
involvement of students in the creation and sharing of knowledge
and the development of faculty as professional educators.
To these ends, the Research Council invites thoughtful, well
written proposals from faculty who are members of faculty
conference, across all disciplines and faculty ranks. The
Council welcomes proposals in three categories: 1) Individual
Faculty Research, 2) Faculty Research with Student as
Co-Investigator, and 3) Curriculum
Enhancement/Instructional Improvment.

The President appoints six faculty

Forms and Review Criteria: (click on category)
-
Individual Faculty Research
Funding in this category supports individual faculty research,
scholarship and creative activities. These funds support
initiatives in all disciplines, can support on-going research,
and may provide "seed" funding for concept development leading
to other external funding submissions.
-
Faculty
Research with Student as Co-Investigator
Funding in this
category supports research that clearly delineates students
(graduate and undergraduate) as co-investigators substantially
involved in the project. The student should be involved in
writing the grant application, conducting the research,
analyzing the data and reporting the results of the research,
including conference presentations. Student vita should be
included in the application package.
-
Curriculum Enhancement/Instructional
Improvement
Funding in this category supports key priorities of the academic
units and faculty applying for these funds should construct
applications to fulfill previously identified department, unit,
college or university curricular needs. The Department
Chair and the Dean of the College are required to certify by
their signature on the application form that the proposed
activity meets these criteria.
