The Faculty Grants Program (FGP, formerly Intramural Grants Program) seeks to support the research, creative endeavors, and other scholarly activity of  NAU faculty. In particular, the FGP supports research, scholarly and creative activity that originates from the faculty member's own professional goals and interests within their discipline, department or college mission and priorities.  The FGP serves as a catalyst for obtaining extramural support and seeks to support: 

• New faculty,

• Faculty doing work in disciplines where extramural support is not regularly available,

• Established Faculty who are changing the scope or direction of their work.

Clarification of limitation on summer salary through the FGP New!

Up to $6,000, or the cost equivalent of 1.5 summer months’ effort, whichever is less, may be included in the FGP budget for each faculty member.  That is, if an applicant requests summer salary for the PI and a Co-investigator, a total of $12K (or up to 1.5 summer months’ support per faculty member, whichever is less) can be included in the budget.  The amount of summer salary support requested for any faculty member cannot exceed 1.5 months’ effort and must reflect the actual amount of effort necessary to carry out the project.  Applicants are strongly encouraged to provide detailed justifications for all summer salary requests.
