Funding

Disciplines: All 

The Graduate School is seeking applications for the Research Equipment and Tools - RET program.  These funds assist with updating and furnishing research equipment and research tools.

Funds are for the purchase of equipment and tools for research purposes only. Research tools are defined as non-consumable items, such as microfilm, books, software, and data sets. Requests for equipment or tools that can be used by more than one researcher, especially from different units, are encouraged. Typically, only one piece of equipment or one tool should be on a request. However, if a suite of complementary items is needed, the request will be considered.  Funds must be expended or encumbered by June 30 of the year awarded.

All SIUE faculty on continuing, full-time appointments, and postdoctoral fellow and visiting assistant professors are eligible to apply for this funding. All qualified faculty are encouraged to apply, including minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and protected veterans.

Faculty may be PI on one proposal.  They may be co-PIs on more than one proposal.

Proposal due in Kuali Build by 4:30 pm on the 2nd Wednesday in February (February 12, 2025).

Visit the RET Website for more information and terms and conditions of the award.
