GRADUATE SCHOOL
May 18, 1945
TO MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY:

The University budget for 1945-1946 includes the usual item
for assistance to research projects of members of the Faculty. The Re-
search Committee plans to give early consideration to the allotment of
the fund and is, therefore, asking that requests for grants be submit-
ted promptly.

The item in the budget is entirely from the maintenance fund;
consequently, grants cannot be made involving the direct payment of sal-
aries or wages.

It is very important that each request be carefully considered
before being submitted, It is altogether probable that the total amount
requested for even the very worthy projects cannot be granted. It would
be helpful to the Committee if each person submitting a request were to
obtain the endorsement in writing of the chairman of his department.

With each application there should be furnished as complete
and aS accurate information as possible on the following points:

1, Nature of the project and probable results
to be obtained.

2. its present state of completion,

3, Total amount necessary during 1945-46 from
the Research Fund and specific purposes for
which each portion of the sum is to be used.

4. Probable amount necessary from the fund in
future years in order to complete the project.

Members of the Faculty who wish to apply for grants should
submit their requests in writing by June 1, 1945.

Very sincerely yours,

E. B. STOUFFER, Chairman
Graduate Research Committee

sos

Any amount remaining from previous grants on projects which
are now terminated should be returned to the Graduate Research Fund for
use during the coming year.
