Expenses and Receipts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The SHSS Faculty Grant Committee recommends funding for a limited amount of resources to support faculty research. All research funds should have a direct impact on a faculty member’s scholarship. Activities and expenditures which may or may not be supported by TCF Research Grants include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acceptable Expenses<\/strong><\/td>Unacceptable Expenses<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Student Wages<\/td>Adjunct Faculty Pay<\/td><\/tr>
Research Equipment<\/td>Meals and Refreshments<\/td><\/tr>
Supplies (Office, Educational)<\/td>Pay to outside Consultant<\/td><\/tr>
Telephones Fees<\/td>Computer & Home internet connection<\/td><\/tr>
Research Travel<\/td>Passport and Visa<\/td><\/tr>
Photocopies<\/td>Faculty pay to train student workers<\/td><\/tr>
Postage\/Shipping & Taxes<\/td>Honoraria or pay to principal investigator<\/td><\/tr>
Conference\/Development Membership Fees<\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If the Research Committee has to think about the appropriateness of the proposed expense, then it’s probably not legitimate. Specific restrictions on eligible expenditures are listed on the page entitled “Budget Guidelines.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n
