1804 Fund preliminary and application deadlines are March 15 and April 17
ATHENS, Ohio (updated March 7, 2007) -- The 1804 Fund, established by the Ohio University Foundation Board of Trustees, supports the university's core mission of maintaining, strengthening and enhancing a learning-centered community.
The 1804 Fund focuses its support on student and faculty learning through two fund categories:
- Undergraduate Learning
- Faculty Research and Graduate Studies
The awards seek to foster:
- A superior undergraduate experience
- Distinctiveness in graduate education
- Excellence in research and scholarship
- A link between service and learning
- Integration of students into the full mission of the university (teaching, research and service)
- Competitiveness for external funding and attracting students
Preliminary Process: Ideas for funding must be discussed with appropriate chairs/directors and deans. In addition, preliminary discussions must be conducted with David Descutner, dean of University College (undergraduate proposals) or with Roxanne Malé-Brune, director of projects for the Vice President for Research (faculty research and graduate studies proposals). If an idea includes both areas of focus, you may meet with either person. These preliminary discussions must take place by Thursday, March 15. Application forms and guidelines will be provided at the meeting.
Application Process: Following these preliminary discussions, final proposals must be submitted to the appropriate area by April 17, 2007.
To schedule a time to discuss an undergraduate learning proposal, call 740-593-1935. To schedule a time to discuss a faculty research/graduate studies proposal, call 740-593-0946.
