USC faculty members are invited to apply for grants of up to $15,000. Copies of the application guidelines and the application form are attached.
These grants are intended to help USC faculty to

Preference will be given projects employing social science approaches and those affording an important research role for USC students. The application deadline is March 3, 2008. Applicants will be notified of the selection committee’s decisions by April 18, 2008. Funded work is to be completed by June 15, 2009.
