From: Cathy Palmer, Chair, LAUC Research and Professional
Development Committee
Subject: Call for Research Proposals, 2000/01
I am pleased to issue the Call for Research Proposals for the University-wide Research Grants for Librarians for 2000/2001. The calendar below indicates the dates for submission and evaluation of proposals. Please note that this is the only Call for Proposals that the LAUC Research and Professional Development Committee will issue for the 2000/2001 year.
Research funds allow University of California librarians a unique opportunity to engage in scholarly research and creative activity which enhances our contributions to the University and our profession. Lists of previously funded projects are available from your divisional research committees who are always willing to help in the development of new research projects.
Please note that ten copies (10) of your proposals must be submitted to the Chair of your divisional research committee by November 13, 2000 in paper only with any required signatures.
See the following documents and forms for important additional information:
Funding for projects approved by R&PDC and the Office of the President will be available July 1, 2001. Projects should be planned for implementation after that date. Also, since rolling over funds is not a routine process, funds should be spent during the year for which they are awarded.
Remember that you may request funds to cover the cost of a replacement so that you may take time off to do your research. The level and length of this replacement is negotiated individually on a case by case basis. If your proposal includes replacement funding, this must be discussed with your immediate supervisor, AUL and University Librarian prior to the submission of the request, and the University Librarian must sign on the paper copy of the cover sheet to approve released time.
