2004-2005 LAUC Research Grant Proposal Call and Calendar
To: LAUC members
From: Jennifer (Jenny) Reiswig Chair, LAUC Research and Professional Development (R&PD) Committee
RE: Call for Research Proposals, 2004/2005
I am pleased to forward the Call for Research Proposals for the University-wide Research Grants for Librarians program for 2004/2005. The detailed calendar below indicates dates for submission and evaluation of proposals. Because of the larger number of campuses which are closing their libraries for the holidays, I realize that many of you may not have access to your computers or files over the holiday. It therefore seems appropriate to move back the deadline by one week. Proposals are now due to your divisional Research committee by January 10, 2005. If your division has already scheduled a research & professional development committee meeting to review proposals, they may send out a local message asking you to keep to the January 3 deadline if possible.
Research funds allow University of California librarians a unique opportunity to engage in scholarly research and creative activity that enhances our contributions to the University and our profession. Assistance in preparing a grant and 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. The "Research" page on the LAUC website features several helpful documents:
URL: http://www.ucop.edu/lauc/committees/rpd/recipients/resources.doc
URL: http://www.ucop.edu/lauc/committees/rpd/recipients/recipients.html
Please note that one paper copy (with the required signatures) AND an email copy of your proposal
must be submitted to the Chair of your divisional research committee by January 10, 2005.
The R&PD Committee may send reminders of impending deadlines during the 2004-05 review cycle, but we urge any LAUC member who is considering a research project to be become familiar with the timetable and to adhere to the deadlines listed below.
See the following documents and forms for important additional information:

NOTE: Be sure to download the cover sheet, guidelines and checklist.
Funding for projects approved by the R&PD Committee and the Office of the President will be available July 1, 2005. Projects should be planned for implementation after that date. 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 release time.
