The Faculty Summer Research Grant (FSRG) program is a highly competitive program administered by the LAS Dean's Office and adjudicated by the College Research Committee. The FSRG provides salary stipends and funding for additional expenses to tenure-line faculty for projects undertaken in the summer following submission of the application. A complete application includes a statement from the applicant’s chair or director, due one week following the application deadline. Faculty are expected to send in a brief report of their research accomplishments at the end of summer. Previous FSRG recipients are identified here.
Applications for the Summer 2026 FSRG are now open. The firm deadline is end-of-day on October 3, 2025.
Applicants are encouraged to review the Guidelines, available below, in their entirety well before the deadline and to alert their chair or director of their intention to apply well before submission. The link to the submission form is included at the end of the Guidelines.
