In addition, your proposal must be comprehensible to a group of your colleagues who are not likely to be specialists in your field. Finally, R&D looks to the ancestry of the project. The applicant's previous history of grant applications should indicate the ability to accomplish what was promised, to use awarded funds prudently, and to file final reports as required.

You are strongly encouraged to apply for external (non-Dickinson) funding for all R&D projects. Go to http://www.dickinson.edu/internal/departments/cfr/ for more information.

How are these projects supported?: R&D usually supports scholarly or creative projects by funding expenses incurred for such things as travel to research sites, consumable materials for science labs and art studios, library user fees, and photocopying. The maximum allowable expenses for any one scholarly or creative project is $1,500 per semester and $3,000 for summer projects. Funding for up to two (2) semesters for a single project may be applied for in a single proposal.

What criteria are used to determine funding?: R&D generally looks to the overall quality of the proposal. Specifically, projects should have high intrinsic value and intellectual or creative merit -- posing a significant question, exploring an important issue, addressing a challenging problem, or expressing an artistic idea. Projects should also hold out the promise of making worthwhile contributions to your field or discipline. Projects should be well-conceived, with achievable goals, a realistic schedule, and an accurate budget.
