A limited amount of funds has been made available by the Provost鈥檚 Office for the purpose of providing grants for projects undertaken by members of the Boston College Association of Retired Faculty.听

Grants will support travel and expenses for research, lectures, conferences, education, publishing, volunteer work, or other significant activities carried out directly by the applicant.听

For the 2024-25 fiscal year, we will have two rounds of retired faculty research grant awards. The proposal submission deadlines are June 15 and October 15.

The BCARF Grants Committee will award up to two grants, each with a proposed budget between $100 and $1,000. The total grant budget for this first round is up to $1,500. The first round is intended for retired faculty who anticipate research expenses to be incurred during the summer of 2024, and any awarded funds will be available around July 1, 2024. It is not required, however, that first-round grant funds be fully used by the end of the summer.听听

听Proposals should be submitted electronically to me at听robert.taggart@bc.edu.

Funds remaining in our research grant budget after the first round, will be available for a second round of awards. Again, research grant budgets between $100 and $1,000 will be considered and the second round proposal submission deadline is October 1.
