Formerly known as the Summer Competitive Scholarly Research Grant program (SCSRG), this year the CSRG program is available for year-round projects. Information is available at https://www.uis.edu/research/faculty-research-support/faculty-grants/. We will discuss elements of successful CSRG applications and the proposal guidelines. We are planning time to conduct a friendly practice review session. The next deadline for this grant is January 27, 2021. Contact Susan Ryherd (sryhe2@uis.edu) if you would like feedback for your abstract, specific aims, introduction, or proposal topic to the group. We will also discuss how to include students in faculty research.
