Faculty Research
Summer Experience Enhancing Collaborative Research (SEECR)
Purpose
SEECR (pronounced "seeker") is an intramural program that will fund pilot projects involving collaboration of two (2) ODU faculty members from two (2) different colleges. The goal of the program is to inspire greater numbers of collaborations among faculty and to assist pairs of faculty in obtaining pilot data as background for submission of proposals to federal funding agencies.
Faculty Eligibility
Faculty may be in either full-time tenured or tenure track Old Dominion University faculty. Faculty will be funded in pairs, and funding will be based upon both the merit of the proposed project and upon cross-disciplinary breadth. The only constraints are that 1) the project must constitute a new collaboration, and 2) the research projects must be multi-disciplinary.
Award Amounts
The award includes a stipend of $6,000 for the summer effort. In addition, up to $5,000 will be available to the pair for supplies, equipment, or part-time assistance (e.g. graduate or undergraduate student assistant).
Proposal Submission Deadlines
- Deadline for Submission of Proposals to Dean: Friday, October 30, 2009
- Deadline for College Deans to submit all proposals to the Office of Research: Monday, November 23, 2009
Application
All applicants must fill out the Intramural Summer Research Proposal Transmittal/Administrative Comments Form . The form should contain all required signatures. Proposals will be regarded as incomplete if these guidelines are not followed.
