Research Council Purpose:

 

The Research Council Grants Program was established to provide resources to faculty members pursuing scholarly activity. Research by faculty members can enrich both their interactions with students who are conducting research and their other instructional activities. Successful strategies in research are also effective for improved student learning, especially those which are collaborative, investigative, project-based, inquiry-based, open-ended and exploratory.
