Subject:            Call for Mini-Grants Fall 2005

The A&M-Commerce Faculty Mini-grant Program offers support for research and
creative activities.  Its primary purpose is to provide seed money to
attract extramural funding or to assist faculty members and professional
staff with taking initial steps toward major research projects and creative
activities.  Mini-grants of up to $600 are available to full-time faculty
members and professional staff who wish to undertake or continue a research
project.

Interested individuals should submit a 1-2 page proposal describing the
project and project budget to Natalie Henderson
(natalie_henderson at tamu-commerce.edu
<mailto:natalie_henderson at tamu-commerce.edu> ) in the Office of Graduate
Studies and Research by 5:00 p.m., October 24, 2005.  The request should
explain the project, the methodology to be used, expected outcome and how
the funds will be utilized.

Funds can be used for almost any aspect of a research project or creative
activity, except to supplement salaries.  Purchase of equipment, printing,
postage, data searches, data collection and student wages are among the
services for which mini-grant funds can be used.

Projects that have the potential to result in proposals for extramural
funding or major activities leading to publications will be given priority
consideration.  Recipients will have until the end of the academic year to
utilize the funds.  Applicants will be notified as to the status of their
request by November 14, 2005.
