	Ethics in Public Life Research funding
		Criteria for funding will include importance and relevance of the proposed research to advancing knowledge about ethics in public life, with particular interest in proposals that will result in on-going programs of research or secure sponsor support for the continuation or elaboration of the initial scholarship supported by this program.
		Securing matching funds or cost sharing from the department or unit, school and college, or outside sources is viewed as an important sign of commitment to and support of the application.
		Regular university policies and procedures are applicable to the expenditure of funds, and the recipient is responsible for working with the appropriate staff in the academic unit to arrange for good stewardship of the funds.

	Office of the Vice President for Research: Funding Opportunities
		Research Seed Funds are intended to support activities necessary to advance large-scale, interdisciplinary, multi-investigator proposals, such as collecting preliminary data and facilitating collaboration.
		Seed Fund proposals should identify the program and agency to which a future interdisciplinary proposal will be submitted, describe the research project in language understandable to faculty reviewers, describe how the Seed Fund activity will result in a more competitive proposal and include a budget and a timeline for submission.
		Award funds may be used to support reasonable and necessary costs for the collection of pilot research data or for proposal development.
