University Research Council Small Grant Program
Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development

The University Research Council of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill administers a Small Grant program for faculty and professional librarians at UNC-CH. Two types of grants are available: 

Research grants support the scientific, scholarly or artistic efforts of faculty. They may be used for costs such as collecting pilot data, research-related travel, research equipment or supplies, or the costs of smaller-scale projects. The Council encourages the use of URC grants as a stepping stone to extramural support.

Publication grants help pay the costs of publishing scientific, scholarly or artistic work. They may be used to pay for such things as photographs, drawings, figures or tables, or permissions to reprint. 

The maximum URC award is $4,000. A faculty member may submit only one URC proposal each semester-either research or publication. Click here for more information.
