Two dozen faculty members earn research grants
The UW-Green Bay Research Council has announced a lengthy list of faculty projects that received partial funding in the fall 2009 round of grants in aid of research. The awards to two dozen different faculty members total $11,000.
Grants in Aid of Research funds support faculty research including data and/or materials collection for research, exhibition or performance projects. Alternatively, they may be used for travel to a national, regional, or international conference to deliver an accepted paper or presentation. (The Council will solicit proposals again in spring 2010; the call will be distributed via direct e-mail and the Log newsletters.)
