Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity Awards
The goal of the Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activities program is to support research, scholarship, and creative activities and further the mission of California State University, Los Angeles. Funding is available in the following categories, and faculty may apply for either or both categories.
CREATIVE LEAVES
Creative Leaves of one quarter duration - Spring or Fall 2013 - allow faculty time to develop or complete an appropriate scholarly or creative activity related to their research and discipline. Leaves are given with pay and, therefore, faculty may not teach at that time. Leaves are not given for assigned quarters off. Faculty who have received a sabbatical leave for the previous academic year are not eligible. Faculty may receive no more than one Creative Leave every six years and should not receive more than one creative leave for the same project. Faculty members are obligated to teach for two consecutive quarters (not counting assigned quarter off) following the Creative Leave.
Minigrants of up to $5,000 allow faculty to test promising ideas and obtain preliminary results prior to seeking external support. Funding can be used for undergraduate and/or graduate assistance, clerical assistance, travel and supplies necessary for the activity.
All Awardees are required to complete a final report at the end of their Minigrant and/or Creative Leave.
