4-1.3 SUPPORT FOR FACULTY RESEARCH

The University of North Carolina at Pembroke encourages its faculty in the pursuit of research and other scholarly activity for the development of original and applied research and scholarly activity. The University will support these efforts as much as possible through reassigned time and through direct and indirect financial support. Since state funding for research at a comprehensive University is somewhat limited, we will actively seek and we strongly encourage faculty to pursue external sources of funding for research. The institution will provide support and assistance through the Institutional Research Office and the Grants Office in the preparation of grants, through the Faculty Research and Development Committee in providing "seed money" and reassigned time, and through the academic departments for travel funds and reassigned time.
