The Committee on Research and Publications (CPR) establishes the criteria to be applied in judging research applications, as well as policies and priorities with respect to grant expenditures. Committee members have adopted policies and priorities which, in their opinion, best serve the larger goal of fostering research among Mount faculty. Funding guidelines are outlined below, but given that research awards are always made with financial constraints in mind, applicants cannot assume that monies will be granted for expenses even if they fall within the guidelines. Further, though policies and priorities are applied as consistently as possible, financial considerations and the number of applications may mean that the extent to which research is funded varies from competition to competition. The information below should be considered as a guide. The Committee is composed of the Associate Vice-President (Academic & Research) (Chairperson) and at least five faculty members, who are typically appointed for 3 year terms. Ultimately, it is the Committee’s responsibility to make whatever recommendations for funding to the President that they feel are justified, given their goal of promoting high quality research on campus.
