»Internal Funding

The Faculty Grant for Research, Scholarship & Creative Activities (FGRSC) funded through Indirect Cost Returns and university funds, provides competitive, merit-based support for research, scholarly, and creative activities in the humanities, fine arts, performing arts, social sciences, education, and other related disciplines. The FGRSC supports projects that will lead to the development of new or the advancement of existing scholarship, creative works, artistic performances, exhibitions, or cultural productions that enhance the intellectual and creative life of Chapman’s community and beyond. Projects that involve undergraduate and graduate student involvement that is integral to the anticipated outcomes of the proposed project are strongly encouraged.

Purpose

The primary purpose of the FY 2027/2028 FGRSC is to provide funding to early-career tenure-track faculty in the humanities, arts, social sciences, education, and other related disciplines who are developing their scholarly or creative portfolios and lack sufficient funding for their work. However, all eligible faculty may apply.
