Pacific Fund Grants

For Faculty

Award Guidelines

1.  The Pacific Fund Grants Program is a direct result of the generous annual support from alumni, parents, employees, students and friends. Every gift to the Pacific Fund goes toward student access and academic innovation. Undergraduate scholarships, study abroad, faculty research, and service-learning are just some of the ways that supporting the Pacific Fund directly impacts the University. For more information on how Pacific Fund grants are used, see http://www3.uop.edu/Academics/Schools-and-Colleges/College-of-the-Pacific/Faculty/Pacific-Fund.html

2.  Qualifying projects will advance the specific aims of the University's commitment to distinctiveness: investments to expand/improve existing programs; create new academic hallmarks; advance faculty teaching, scholarship and research; develop leadership, experiential learning, and international opportunities for students; promote/support student achievement.

3.  Projects must involve at least one College of the Pacific faculty or student member; projects involving more than one faculty member or student, or involving a faculty member and a student from the College are especially encouraged.

4.  The grant requester must provide clear, measurable goals and a plan for assessing the results.

5.  Pacific Fund grants are issued on a reimbursement basis only. Funds are not issued up front; expenses must be documented and submitted for reimbursement using the form provided.

6.  Pacific Fund grants can not pay tuition for coursework or internships for credit.

7.  Individual and group applications are welcome.

8.  No individual may win more than one Pacific Fund grant (individually or as a member of a group application) in one academic year.

9.  Final Report: the Pacific Fund Office requires all grant recipients to report on how they utilized their grant monies within two weeks of expending the funds or completing the project (not to exceed two pages). Final Report Forms are available online at http://www3.uop.edu/Academics/Schools-and-Colleges/College-of-the-Pacific/Faculty/Pacific-Fund/How-to-Apply.html

10.  Pacific Fund awards are selected by the College Research Fund committee. The committee consists of two representatives from each division (Humanities, Social Science, Natural Sciences). The Dean serves as an ex-officio member and convener of the committee. There are two funding cycles per academic year. The deadlines for submissions are the 1st Friday in November and the 1st Friday in March at 5pm.
