Matching Funds Policy

The Office of Research Services and Sponsored Programs has been allocated a small amount of money to provide matching funds for faculty/staff cash-match commitments in external proposals.

• Eligible proposals must follow the Office of Research Services and Sponsored Programs grant submission procedure and timeline.
• Funds will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis.
• The funding agency must explicitly state the need for matching funds.
• The maximum award will be the smaller between $ 3,000 or 10% of the requested amount with the Director of Research Services having latitude to commit larger amounts on projects where the resulting funding enhances more than 1 department.
• All requests must be approved by the Director of Research Services.
