Internal Funding

Archaeological Research Endowment Fund

Major changes are coming to the internal seed grant funding program this year. Please contact Eva English for futher details.

The Archaeological Research Endowment Fund annually provides up to $2,000 to offset the cost of archaeological research conducted by full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty of the University of Toledo. All proposals will be reviewed and recommendations for funding will be made by the University Research Council. Only faculty members who will be at UToledo for the next academic year are eligible to apply.
 
The most important consideration is the likelihood that the award will contribute to a productive and meaningful research program. Also important is the extent to which the proposed project will lead to self-sustaining external support.

Deadline

Full application due the third Thursday in January.

Eligibility
