Axe ’Em, Jacks!
The University Research Council of Stephen F. Austin State University has recommended 10 Faculty Research Grants totaling more than $194,000 for funding in 2008-2009 through the university's Research Enhancement Program.
Research enhancement funds are intended to encourage and enhance research opportunities for faculty members and serve as support for innovative research and seed monies to attract external financial support. Faculty Research Grants provide substantive support for research and scholarly creative activities and are awarded through an annual competition held during the spring semester for funding during the upcoming fiscal year.
The University Research Council is comprised of 10 elected and appointed full members of the graduate faculty. Key activities of the council are to recommend policies and procedures to encourage research activities and to improve the research environment of the university, and to develop guidelines for and recommend awards of university research grants.
