UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - UTRECHT UNIVERSITY

This program is suspended for academic year 2009-10 due to University of California budget constraints. The following details about the UC-UU Program are for information purposes only.

The University of California-University of Utrecht Program to Promote Collaborative Research seeks to prompt vigorous collaborative research partnerships across the humanities and social sciences (including linguistics). The Program will build on and extend already existing working relationships between UC faculty from a variety of the UC campuses and UU faculty, drawing on the strengths of each institutional site. Each partnership will pair at least one faculty member from UC and UU respectively. The purpose of the grants is to enable research collaborations between the two institutions to flourish, and will largely cover travel and accommodation costs for face-to-face research to be conducted (see application's budget sections regarding allowed expenses).

General Principles
* No extensions

* No sabbatical funding

* No salaries for PIs or assistants are permitted on the funding

* Monies are to facilitate collaboration of PIs and their interlocutors; the point is to facilitate research
interlocutors/teams to get together for the research program, collaboration and interaction. Awards should increase
collaborative/shared output.

* Awardees have to wait a year to re-apply after the grant finishes.

* Conference funding will be available off this grant only in exceptional circumstances and only if concrete outcomes are elaborated such as ensuring publication.

* Master class possibilities are welcome: this would involve exchange.

* Teaching: no salary/honoraria can be covered for this, only travel and accommodation.

* Funding will include mandatory desktop video-conferencing for each of the PIs involved in each project.
