 accepting proposals for the 2013 grant program.  The initial grant 
amount for these research grants is $60,000 per year for three (3) 
years.  All full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty members may 
apply.  <br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">CCE faculty should submit their

submission to Welch.  As you recall, the University writes one 
commitment letter that covers all submission and assures the eligibility
 of those submitting.  Then all UH applications are mailed together,
