I am funding a Ph.D. GAR on an external grant and contract. The PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE was ON or AFTER January 1, 2020. The granting agency ALLOWS payment of tuition and/or fees. Are any other funds available to help with such payments?
SRS typically includes required fees in the budgets for Graduate Assistants where the granting agency allows such payments. Thus, resident tuition, required university fees and college fees for PhD GARs on external grants and contracts in which the granting agency allows payment of tuition and/or fees will be paid from those grants and contracts.
The President allocated one-time limited “support funds” for FY21 to address the challenges of paying resident tuition and required fees when the granting agency does not permit such payments. PI’s and Co PI’s may request these funds via this form. These requests will only be considered for contracts and proposals that have been awarded.
To address grandfathering as the tuition mandate expanded to include required fees, the President allocated limited “bridge funds” for FY21 and FY22, which may be requested by PIs and Co-PIs via this form. SRS typically includes required fees in the budgets for Graduate Assistants where the granting agency allows such payments. Thus, an explanation of the extraordinary circumstance detailing why funding beyond tuition (i.e. university required fees) is no longer available must be included in requests for bridge funding. Requests will only be considered for proposals that have been awarded.
