CSCE Internal Grants Recipients
PROJECT FUNDS
Catalyst Grant for Research and Creativity
This grant encourages faculty in establishing and maintaining programs of research, scholarly, and/or creative activity. Projects should display potential for having a significant impact on one’s field or chart a new trajectory in one’s scholarly, creative or artistic development.
Collaborative Research and Creative Activity Initiative
This initiative is designed to foster new collaborative research and creative activities between faculty members from different disciplines.
Mini Grant Program
This program supports research and creative activity with a modest subsidy at critical times. This is accomplished through defraying the cost of travel, supplies, and other materials necessary to conduct the project. Funds may also be used for page charges, color illustrations, and other costs associated with publishing.
Pre-tenure Supplement for Research and Creativity
The Pre-tenure Supplement for Research and Creativity is an additional funding option of CSCE’s Catalyst Grant. This grant enhances scholarly and/or creative productivity by providing junior faculty members with financial support to launch their creative agendas at the university.
Faculty Course Reassignment for Research and Creative Expression
The Faculty Course Reassignment is an additional funding option of CSCE’s Catalyst Grant.
This reassignment provides unencumbered time to help fulfill the demands of unusually time-intensive projects.
FACULTY DISSEMINATION
Dissemination Grant (In-Person or Virtual Conference Support)
Dissemination Grants are designed to defray the cost of attending conferences. The use of funds requires the dissemination of the applicant's original research or creative effort. The presentations must be at a recognized organized conference or professional exposition unless you are a session chair or officer of a national committee.

Book Publication Subvention Fund

This support aids the ability of researchers to publish in established open access peer-reviewed journals and peer-reviewed journals that have an open access option.
PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT
Laker Extramural Proposal Development
The Center for Scholarly and Creative Excellence is pleased to announce a new grant opportunity for Grand Valley faculty. The Laker Extramural Proposal Development Support will provide small grants of up to $2,000 to help faculty make their external grant proposals and applications more competitive and fundable.

GVSU’s Laker Match Fund
The GVSU’s Laker Match Fund (LMF) is an account of limited funding managed in the Center for Scholarly and Creative Excellence – Research Administration. The LMF’s purpose is to assist in the provision of matching funds when required as a condition of eligibility to apply for funding for externally-sponsored projects.
