 Faculty Research Grants (FRG)

Overview
Faculty Research Grants are awarded through SFA's Research Enhancement Program. These awards provide substantive support for research and scholarly creative activities. Through an annual competition held during the spring semester, funds are awarded for the upcoming fiscal year. Faculty Research Grant awards vary with the project scope; however, awards average about $17,000 (including salaries). Faculty Research Grant funds must be expended in accordance with the approved budget and are subject to all local, state, and federal fiscal regulations. All research activities related to a FRG award are subject to applicable state and federal laws, as well as university policies and procedures.
