Dean Poiger is pleased to announce six new recipients of the College of Social Sciences and Humanities (CSSH) Dean’s Research Development Awards. This is the third cohort of recipients since the program began in fall 2012. The grants are designed to support CSSH faculty members’ research and seed proposals for more significant support from external sources. A committee of CSSH faculty made recommendations to the Dean.
Each year, CSSH offers two funding cycles for this program. The deadline for the next cycle is February 7, 2014. For more information on the application process, please review the call for proposals.
