Faculty Scholarship Grant

Twice a year, the Committee on Research awards funds for all phases of faculty scholarship. The committee encourages proposals where initial funding holds promise for continuing funding from external granting agencies as well as research that falls outside the purview of external funding agencies. In awarding research funds, the committee takes into account the likelihood of the project resulting in a finished product: the publication of a scholarly article or book, the successful completion of a work of art, the mounting of an art exhibition, or a dramatic production.

Proposal Application

Research Committee Proposal Form
The deadline for applications for Spring 2024 is Friday, March 22, 2024.

All faculty members, whether tenured, on tenure track, on more limited contracts, or emeriti are eligible to apply. If in a temporary position, research must be complete before the contract ends.


When funds are limited, the Committee will give priority to submissions from those who are tenured or on tenure-track, and to those who have not recently received support from this committee or other sources.

If you have any questions about eligibility or the application process, email researchcommittee@vassar.edu and we will route your email to the appropriate person on the Committee.
