Introduction

The Faculty Research Committee (CFR) is an appointed Committee of the University Senate charged with supporting and encouraging the development of externally funded research at Miami University. The Committee interprets research as creative endeavors that seek to add to the sum of human knowledge; as well, the Committee supports a wide range of professional activities and recognizes that research varies from discipline to discipline.

One of the major sources of funds for support of the CFR program is the indirect cost recovered by the University on grants from external sources. Growth in external funding that includes recovered indirect costs will grow the size of the pool of funds available through the CFR. The Committee encourages investigators to aid the CFR and the University generally in securing funds from sources that include indirect costs.

In considering proposals, the Committee takes into account whether the investigator has previously sought external funding. Help in seeking external funding for research is available from the Office of Research and Innovation.

The Faculty Research Committee currently administers three programs that are funded by the University. They are the:

  • Faculty Research Grants Program
    • Applications will be due on February 3, 2025. The submission portal will open in December 2023.
    • Applications are accepted via InfoReady
  • University Faculty Scholar Award Program
    • The deadline for submitting nominations is Friday, December 6, 2024.
    • Nominations will be reviewed, and awards decided, by the Faculty Research Committee.
    • Submissions, typically self-nominations, are accepted via InfoReady
  • Publication, Reprint, Exhibition, and Performance Costs (PREP) Program
    • Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
    • Applications are accepted via a Google Form

Specific information regarding these programs is provided in the following sections.

Faculty Research Grants

Faculty research grants feature a flexible budget model to provide support for categories including salary, fringe benefits, tuition remission, travel, participant costs, materials and supplies, consultant services, computer services, and equipment or facility rental or user fees. Support can be requested in as many or as few categories as needed. The average award size to an individual investigator will be approximately $25,000 and the average award size to a collaborative team will be approximately $50,000. It is understood that research costs vary widely between disciplines. Thus, for individual investigator awards, it is expected that some will be less than $25,000 while others will be significantly higher. Applicants are encouraged to assemble a budget that will appropriately support the proposed research. The expected term for most awards will be 1 year.

Eligibility

All continuing tenure-eligible or tenured faculty, including librarians holding the Master of Library and Information Science Degree or equivalent, are eligible to apply. Degree and rank at the date of application shall determine eligibility. Teaching, clinical professors and lecturers assigned research or scholarship as part of workload expectations are also eligible. The Committee encourages proposals from all disciplines and campuses at Miami University. Funds from the Committee on Faculty Research are not to be used toward the completion of any advanced degree on the part of the principal investigator.

  • A faculty member may request support for only one individual investigator research project in a given year. A faculty member may request support for one collaborative research project each year in addition to the one individual investigator research project.
  • A faculty member who has previously received Faculty Research grant(s) from CFR is immediately eligible for future awards, provided that he/she has submitted external proposal(s) for funding equal to or greater than the amount of the last CFR funds awarded, or has demonstrated achievement of the scholarship proposed in the prior Faculty Research grant(s).
  • CFR funds are considered seed money for obtaining preliminary data or information that will lead to the submission of proposals to external funding sources. Proposals addressing new avenues of research and scholarship for the investigator, initiating new projects and pilot studies, or testing novel or controversial research/creative ideas are encouraged.

Application submission, and structure of proposals

Budget information and categories of support

The Faculty Research Grants Program awards can provide support for proposal budget categories allowed for most federal research grants including salary (academic year and summer), fringe benefits, tuition remission, travel, participant costs, materials and supplies, consultant services, computer services, and equipment or facility rental or user fees. Support can be requested in as many or as few categories as needed. Descriptions, examples, and restrictions on these categories of support are provided below:

  1.  Salary Support

    1. Summer or academic year salaries for Miami University faculty, research scientists, research engineers, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate students are allowed. With the exception of consultants (see section F, below), CFR grant funds cannot be used to support individuals not employed by Miami University unless approved in advance by the Vice President for Research and Innovation.
    2. Each person requesting salary support, and their proposed roles and duties, should be listed in the Budget Justification. Fringe, as described below, should be included for all individuals with requested salary support.
    3. Salary support may take the form of academic year salary, summer salary, or course buyouts.
      1. If course buyouts are requested, the cost should be included in the budget as the appropriate number of academic months of salary support for the faculty member and details must be included in the Budget Justification. Details must include the course name, department, number of credit hours, and number of sections requested for the buyout. Course buyout may be allowed if a justifiable case can be made for how the buyout will enable the proposed research, or why the absence of a course buyout would preclude the accomplishment of the proposed research objectives.
      2. Faculty wishing to request course buyout must negotiate with the Chair of the Department in advance of proposal submission to receive approval and determine the cost, and the corresponding number of academic months of salary support, that should be included in the budget.
      3. Letters of support from the Department Chair and Dean must be included with proposals requesting funds for a course buyout.
    4. Fringe must be included for all personnel with requested salary support.
      1. Details below identify the fringe rates to be used for each type of personnel supported.
        • Faculty
          • Fringe rates for faculty are calculated as the full-time rate percentage multiplied by the sum of requested academic months and calendar months of salary support, plus 16.45% multiplied by the number of summer months of requested salary support.
        • Research Scientists and Research Engineers
          • Research Scientists and Research engineers can only request calendar months for salary support and fringe is calculated as the full-time rate percentage multiplied by the number of requested calendar months of salary support.
        • Postdoctoral Fellows
          • Postdoctoral fellows can only request calendar months for salary support and fringe is calculated as the full-time rate percentage multiplied by the number of requested calendar months of salary support.
        • Graduate Students and Undergraduate Students
          • Graduate students and undergraduate students can request academic months and/or summer months for salary support and fringe is calculated as 1.70% multiplied by the total number of requested months of salary support.
        • Other Personnel
          • All other personnel can only request calendar months for salary support and fringe is calculated as the full-time rate percentage multiplied by the number of requested calendar months of salary support.
  2. Tuition Remission

    1. Tuition remission must be requested if the proposed budget includes salary support for Miami University graduate students.
    2. Tuition should be included at the rate of $580.48 per credit hour.
      • For example, tuition for one graduate assistant for 18 credit hours (9 fall semester, 9 spring semester) would be included as $10,449
  3. Travel

    1. Travel that directly supports the proposed research and scholarship is allowable. Travel to conferences, meetings, or symposia that do not directly impact research and scholarship data collection or analysis will generally not be permitted. The amount requested and a brief description of the travel must be included in the Budget Justification. All travel must follow Miami University travel policies.
  4. Participant Costs

    1. Funds can be requested for stipends, subsistence allowances, travel reimbursement, for participants. Any requests for participant costs  must be justified as essential for completing the proposed research and described in the Budget Justification.
  5. Materials and Supplies, and Other Data Collection Costs

    1. Consumable items or data collection costs required for the proposed research should be included as materials and supplies. This could include costs encountered for individuals within human subjects studies or animal research costs. The amount requested and a brief description of the items must be included in the Budget Justification.
  6. Consultant Services

    1. Consultant services are generally allowed provided that the services are essential for data collection or analysis. The amount requested and a brief description of the services must be included in the Budget Justification.
      • A quote or prospectus for consultant services must be included with the budget justification.
  7. Computer Services

    1. Computers and computing service costs, such as cloud computing access, are generally allowed provided that the services or items are essential for data collection or analysis. The amount requested and a brief description of the items or services must be included in the Budget Justification.
