Manners awards
application deadline set for April 8
The University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) is seeking applications for the annual Steven D. Manners Faculty Development Awards. Two awards of up to $10,000 each relating to work in the social, behavioral and policy sciences will be given in honor of Manners, who was UCSUR’s assistant director at the time of his death in 2000.
One award is a research development grant to support pilot research. Research development grants are expected to have the potential of leading to larger, externally funded projects. The other award is an infrastructure development award aimed at enhancing faculty capabilities to conduct interdisciplinary research by enabling faculty to develop, acquire and disseminate new research skills.
Full-time faculty from all Pitt campuses are eligible. Applications are due April 8. The awards will be announced in June.
