Research
The Office of the Vice President for Arts and Sciences funds two sources of budget support for research:
The Faculty Research Allowance Program (FRAP) supports research for instructors in full-time professorial and lecturer ranks. The program provides support to faculty members in the following categories of research-related expenses:
Travel Expenses
Manuscript Preparation Expenses
Equipment Purchases
Telecommunications Charges
If you have any questions or need more information regarding FRAP, please contact Muin Rashid, Manager, Budget Operations, at mkr2107@columbia.edu or at (212) 854-6102.
The Tenured Faculty Research Program (TFRP) offers tenured faculty annually the equivalent of one-ninth of their academic year salary. The TFRP allocation may be used either toward a paid leave with salary or for research assistance. The 2008-09 Application Form should be returned to the Office of the Vice President for Arts and Sciences, 105 Low Library, by March 26, 2008. For further instructions, click here.
