Funding Amount & Duration
RESEARCH GRANTS
1. Faculty/Staff: Research Grants fund collaborative projects of varying sizes. One-year grants in 2006-07 ranged from $7,500 to $24,000, with a median award of $14,900. Awards are ordinarily granted for one year, but two-year projects will also be considered, with second-year funding contingent on the submission of an interim report demonstrating satisfactory progress in the first year. Proposals for projects that are part of larger research programs funded by external sources should specify the programmatic and funding relationship between the proposed research and the project(s) already funded.
2. Graduate Students: Advanced Graduate Research Fellowships support graduate students in a year of dissertation research or its equivalent. Research Grants to graduate students in 2006-07 ranged from $5,380 to $22,000, with a median award of $16,500. Students may apply for a maximum of $22,000 in funding for a year of research, with budget justification. Budget requests for less than a year of funding should be adjusted proportionally. If more than one year of research can be justified, the graduate student may reapply for an additional year of funding.
WORKSHOP AND PLANNING GRANTSWorkshop and Planning Grants enable investigators to refine a hypothesis or line of inquiry, develop a strategy for implementation, and share or disseminate research findings. The grant shall not exceed $15,000. Workshops should lead to a publication reflecting an advance in the state of knowledge of a field; planning meetings should lead to a proposed program of collaborative research. Campus centers are eligible to apply for workshop and planning grants through a designated Principal Investigator.
FACULTY DEVELOPMENT GRANTSFaculty Development Grants support UC faculty in developing new directions in Pacific Rim research through short-term (one to three months) residence in the region. All UC faculty with PI status may apply, either for the PI's own travel, or on behalf of a collaborator in another Pacific Rim country who will be hosted on the PI's home campus. The award shall not exceed $10,000. The proposal should aim at facilitating collaboration or field work on a project. If the residence occurs during the academic year, the applicant is responsible for making appropriate arrangements for a leave of absence from the university. During the period of residence, the applicant may not be remunerated for teaching or research-related activities by the host institution.

Nomination Requirements**Please read Program Guidelines carefully to determine your eligibility** UC Davis may submit a total of twelve applications for Research, Advanced Graduate Research Fellowships, Workshop/Planning, and Faculty Development Grant proposals. As many as three of these may be Faculty Development Grant Proposals. UC faculty and staff who are eligible to be Principal Investigators on their campus may seek Research Grants, Workshop and Planning Grants, Faculty Development Grants. Graduate students may apply for Advanced Graduate Research Fellowships, Workshop and Planning Grants, and Mini-grants. A graduate student applicant for a Workshop and Planning Grant must obtain sponsorship from a faculty member who will have budgetary and project oversight responsibilities. All successful applicants must maintain eligibility during the life of the grant. Grants are not transferable to non-UC institutions. Each applicant may submit no more than one proposal per annual competition cycle.Funding Areas**Please read Program Guidelines carefully to determine application requirements** The Pacific Rim Research Program promotes the study of the Pacific Rim as a distinctive region. For the purposes of this Program, the term "Pacific Rim" encompasses all areas and nations that border the Pacific Ocean, including Southeast Asia, the Pacific islands, and Pacific Latin America. The Program places priority on research that is new, specific to the region, and collaborative --reaching across national boundaries and bridging academic disciplines.Proposals may come from any discipline and should address questions that contribute to an understanding of the Pacific Rim region as a whole. Proposals will be evaluated for scholarly merit, originality, purpose, relationship to existing research, theoretical framework, methodology, qualifications and role of each investigator and collaborator, adequacy of available resources, justification for the budget, anticipated scholarly products, tentative schedule, and plan for dissemination of the research results. In addition to these features, successful proposals ordinarily include thefollowing:• investigation across national, cultural, linguistic, and/or regional boundaries;• focus on interactions, flows, or major issues affecting the Pacific Rim region;• collaboration of scholars in different countries and, where appropriate, different disciplines.Multi-disciplinary, multi-regional research is encouraged. Studies of single countries may be funded if the proposal articulates broader regional significance. “Collaboration” is broadly defined and need not be required in all aspects of the research. Collaborative projects should be aimed at facilitating, whenever possible, long-term ties between the UC, institutions, and individuals throughout the Pacific Rim. Projects should enable researchers who have not previously approached Pacific Rim subjects to interact with colleagues who are experts on 2 regional issues. For graduate students, international collaboration will often be in the form of institutional affiliation abroad or faculty sponsorship in the host country. Studies of flora, fauna, diseases, minerals, and other natural phenomena that occur in the Pacific Rim will be considered only if they significantly enhance understanding of the Pacific Rim and its peoples. Such proposals will receive more favorable consideration if they address cultural, social, or policy issues and include collaborators from both social science/humanities and natural science disciplines.
