*Grants to Enhance and Advance Research (GEAR):  *The purpose of the GEAR
program is to leverage research at the University, with special emphasis on
projects that will attract support from federal sources such as NSF, NIH,
DOE, NIMH, and DOD that allow full indirect cost return.  GEAR recipients
are required to submit a proposal to an external funding source as their
final report.****

 ****

*Eligibility:*  All full-time faculty members who are tenured or
tenure-track or research faculty are eligible to apply for GEAR funds
except previous GEAR winners who failed to complete the reporting
requirements.  Individual faculty members or groups of faculty members may
apply.  Each college will be allowed to submit at least one GEAR proposal
for consideration by the RSC.  Additional slots will be awarded in
proportion to the total IDC generation by the respective colleges.****

 ****

*Review Process:*  The proposals will be reviewed and ranked by an elected
or appointed committee of faculty within the academic college in which the
PI holds primary appointment.  Each college should establish a fair and
transparent mechanism for review that might or might not involve external
evaluations.  The details of the review process within the college will be
disclosed to the RSC.  The RSC will select winning proposals from those
forwarded by the colleges.****

 ****

Forms and Guidelines are attached.****
