The College of Human Sciences & Education invests in the ideas, research, and professional growth of its community. Through a range of internal funding programs, the college supports faculty scholarship, conference engagement, global learning experiences, and graduate student development.
Faculty Research Grants
The Faculty Research Grant Program provides competitive funding for university/IRB-approved research projects. These awards are designed to strengthen proposals for external funding by supporting pilot data collection, project development, or new initiatives that enhance the college’s research portfolio. Applicants should clearly articulate how the requested funds will position their work for submission to external agencies and increase competitiveness for future awards.
Faculty Travel Grants
Faculty Travel Grants assist with expenses related to presenting research at professional conferences. These funds are intended to supplement existing support from schools, indirect cost recovery, sponsored projects, or other travel programs. Applicants must document efforts to secure and exhaust available funding sources before requesting college support.

Graduate Assistant Travel Grants
