Internal Funding
Internal Grants Overview
Internal grant opportunities exist for faculty in the sciences and the non-sciences. Grant applications are reviewed by peer committees. Specifically, the Holcomb Awards Committee (HAC) reviews proposals in the natural, social, behavioral and mathematical sciences. The Butler Awards Committee (BAC) considers all non-science proposals. In some instances, faculty may question which committee is most appropriate for their proposals. Faculty are encourage to discuss this issue with Robert Holm or with the chair or members of either committee. Faculty may also wish to consider the evaluation rubrics and view sample successful proposals funded by each committee.
New Policy for Submission of HAC and BAC Proposals
In the interest of expediting the internal grant approval process, saving time and paper, the BAC, HAC and HUG committees have agreed that proposals for ALL internal grants (including those due on November 5th) will now be submitted to the BIRS office electronically. The process up to submission remains as it has in the past. The application is filled out and taken to the department chair and dean for signature. The next step is the change in the process – once the application has been signed by the dean it should be scanned and sent via email to the BIRS office (rholm@butler.edu) for electronic distribution to the appropriate committee. If you need help scanning your document contact any Instructional Technology staff member at x8575 or training@butler.edu. Thank you for your cooperation in making our transition to an electronic grant submission/approval process as smooth as possible. If you have any questions, please contact Bob Holm at x9766 or rholm@butler.edu.
