Academic Research Grants (Category VI)

Academic Research Grants (ARGs) are for the exclusive purpose of academic research that advances the institution’s mission or provides institutional understanding and has a scholarly, institutional, departmental, and/or programmatic impact. These grants take the place of Institutional Research and Development (IR&D) grants. UDWC will review applications for the purpose of determining whether compensation is appropriate for the workload, as UDWC does for calls. The ARG Committee will evaluate, score, and rank ARG applications. This work will be completed by a new ARG Committee. Applications for Fall semester or year-long grants are due no later than March 1 of the prior year. Applications for Spring semester grants are due to UDWC no later than September 1 of the prior semester. For more information about ARGs, please refer to this document or to the new CBA.
