COR Faculty Grants Program: Research

Updated: April 2024

Important information for 2023-24 COR Grant Recipients: GSR Fee Remissions Requests

The Academic Senate will reimburse fee remission funds on behalf of the Academic Planning and Budget Office (APB) for AY 2023-24. Please refer to the following APB fiscal year-end guidelines and policy to determine eligibility before requesting reimbursement: https://apb.ucla.edu/resource-management/budget-administration  
 
If a faculty recipient of a 2023-24 COR grant hired a Graduate Student Researcher (GSR) with that grant funding, please check your inbox for important communications from the Academic Senate Faculty Grants Program. Please follow the instructions provided in the email to request a reimbursement for the eligible GSR fee remission expenses. 

Please note:  

  1. Eligible fee remission expenses must be incurred during FY2023-24 (July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024).
  2. Eligible fee remission expenses must be charged to the faculty member’s 2023-24 COR Grant FAU. In other words, the same FAU previously provided to the Academic Senate per the instructions on the faculty member's award letter. 
  3. This accommodates only fee remissions. All other payroll expenses, e.g., GAEL, CBR, TIF, must be covered by the award. GSR appointment and percentage must abide by the approved budget.
  4. NRST fees are not eligible for reimbursement. 
Requests must be submitted by May 6, 2024. No exceptions. 

Research Allowance Program (RAP)

The COR Research Allowance Program (RAP) is a program that provides financial support for research-related activities of Senate faculty at UCLA. This new program replaces previous funding programs such as the Faculty Research Grant (FRG) and the Research Enabling Grant (REG). The maximum amount that can be requested through this program is $5,000 per funding cycle (fiscal year). COR will determine the amount funded after administrative review of submitted applications, non-overlap with other research funding available to the investigator, and the investigator’s prior record of scholarly productivity in the use of funds from the Faculty Grants Program. RAP funds provide financial support for faculty academic research, and should not be used for other academic responsibilities such as teaching and university service. This program does not replace the Conference Travel Grant Program, which runs concurrently with available funding on a first-come, first-serve basis.

  • Eligible Faculty may apply for one faculty research grant per academic year.
  • $5,000 maximum
  • Application Period (2024-25 funding cycle): January 31, 2024, 9:00 a.m. to February 28, 2024, 5:00 p.m. PST
Applicants must review the RAP Policies and Guidelines before applying for funding. Applications with missing information will be considered incomplete and will not be processed.
