Holcomb Awards Committee
Internal Grants for the Sciences and Social Sciences
(quantitative research methods)
The HAC promotes faculty research in all disciplines and
encourages faculty members to engage students in the research
process. The Committee will support a broad range of scholarly
activities, from discovery to interpretation, including but not
limited to activities that:
- promote research, scholarship, creativity, or innovation
- promote the discovery, integration, or application of
knowledge
- develop community partnerships or have a significant
professional or community service component
- promote effective teaching or innovative curricular
development
- are of an interdisciplinary nature or involve multiple
faculty
- have a significant impact on the professional development of
the faculty members involved, particularly junior faculty
- involve students in research
- have as their major purpose the development of subsequent
proposals for external funding
The Committee emphasizes that the above list is not a ranking of
priorities and is by no means exhaustive. The primary purpose of
this research support is to aid in building the faculty's capacity
for research, instruction, and service through the enlargement of
the university's resource base.
