  • FAQs

    Q.  Who is eligible to receive a grant?

    A.  A research study’s principal investigator, who is an active University of Phoenix Faculty Member in good standing.

    Q. How do the grants and fellowship programs differ from the honoraria and publishing programs?

    A.  General research grants are awarded to support the development and execution of original faculty research projects; the teaching and learning fellowship program awards support research and innovation specific to teaching in learning within an academic discipline.

    The scholarship honoraria and Excellence in Publication awards recognize faculty who present and/or publish their work via scholarly channels (conference presentations, refereed journal publications, etc.). Faculty members are permitted to participate in both programs.

    Q.  When are awards accepted, and can one applicant receive more than one award per year?

    A.  Yes, an individual may submit multiple applications for independent research projects. Each project must be an independent project and not a version/aspect of a single project. Each grant application will be evaluated independently and competitively – applicants can only receive one grant or fellowship per year.   Applications are accepted and awards announced throughout the year.

    Q. If I receive a grant or fellowship, does that prevent me from receiving the Excellence in Publication award or the Scholarship Honoraria?

    A.  No, grant and fellowship recipients are not excluded from receiving Excellence in Publication awards or the Scholarship Honoraria.

    Q.  How often are awards granted?

    A.  Awards will be announced on an ongoing basis throughout the year.

    Q.  Approximately how long after I submit an application will I be informed of the committee’s decision?

    A.  Grant recipients will be notified within 45 days of submitting their completed grant application.

    Q.  If I have questions about the application process or just a question in general, who do I contact?

    A.  Please direct all questions to OSS@phoenix.edu 

    Q.  Is the funding limited?
