<br>The CCE review process is described below.<br>
<br><br><br><p class="MsoNormal"><b>GEAR REVIEW PROCESS FOR THE CULLEN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING (CCE):</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The
purpose of the GEAR program is to leverage research at the University,
with special emphasis on projects that will attract support from <b>federal
sources</b> 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.</span><br><br><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">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 research expenditures generated by the respective
colleges. </span></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="https://mail.google.com/mail/images/cleardot.gif"></p></div></div><p><br>The CCE Department Chairs or their designee will serve as an advisory committee to the Dean of Engineering. <span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Individual proposals will first be reviewed and ranked by the department chair in which the PI holds primary appointment. </span> The Dean will meet with the Department Chairs as a group <span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">to
discuss and rank the proposals within the CCE. For FY13,<span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)"> <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><b>five (5)

Research and Scholarship Committee by the specified deadline of
3/15/2013.</span></p>Review Criteria:<br>1)
Proposals will first be judged on their intellectual merit, broader
impact, and the potential of the research to be transformative.<br>2) The PI or PI team, will be evaluated on their<span style="background:white"> cumulative</span> record of securing federal funding with full indirect cost return over the past five years.<br>
3) The PI or PI team will be evaluated on the multiplicative potential of GEAR funding to secure federal funding with full indirect cost return over the next five years.<br>4)
For meritorious proposals the meet criteria 1-3, preference will be
given to the PI or PI team that have/has not received GEAR funding in
the last three years.<br clear="all"><br><br>Here is the schedule as outlined by the UH RSC:<br><br><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Schedule:</span></p>
