Some new Letters and Science faculty appointees receive a research fund allowance as part of their start-up package. The research fund allowance is granted to help new faculty establish their research programs in a timely manner and to aid the transition of the research program from the previous institution to UC Santa Barbara. The following are examples of appropriate expenditures for this fund: • hiring an assistant to help set-up the research laboratory, office, and files; • purchase of supplies necessary to the establishment of the research facility; • hiring a graduate student to perform library or laboratory research*; • travel by the faculty member to conduct field research, to do archival work, or to discuss work in progress with colleagues at other institutions or at professional/scholarly meetings; • travel expenses to bring a research colleague from another institution to UCSB for a research consultation; • other purposes consistent with the use of 19900 State funds. *Faculty members hiring a graduate student researcher at 25% time or more are also responsible for fees. The research fund allowance cannot be used for: • graduate student recruitment, or graduate student travel to professional/scholarly meetings; • routine purchase of books; • purchase of individual scholarly society memberships; • journal subscriptions; • faculty summer salary. |
