Applications for Grants and Fellowships
Coordinated Through the Office of the Vice Provost for Research
118 College Hall, University of Pennsylvania
Philadelphia, PA 19104-6303

The Office of the Vice Provost
for Research (VPR) coordinates the selection process for grant
competitions, in instances where a limited number of applications
are accepted from the University of Pennsylvania. These opportunities
are listed in the table below. In general the process involves
the following steps.
-
The dean's office of each school
nominates potential candidates, no more than the number permitted
for the whole University. Usually, each School requests potential
nominees from their Departments which are due on the SCHOOL
DEADLINE in the table.
-
Nominees are forwarded to the
Office of the VPR, often using an abbreviated format, with
an abstract, short account of proposed research, CV, and any
other supporting information pertinent to that request for
applications. This is the VPR DEADLINE in table.
-
Schools and candidates are notified
to prepare applications, which are then processed through
the Office
of Research Services, following procedures standard for
all grant and contract applications. Because Research Services
must process all applications, complete applications must
be turned in to them sufficiently far in advance of the AGENCY
DEADLINE in table.
-
In addition to University-wide
opportunities, there are some instances of awards that are
coordinated by a single School and these may be found under
the websites for the individual schools ( www.upenn.edu/schools_prog/),
or by inquiry to the Dean's office of each School (see list
below).
For specific instructions regarding
the internal screening process for each competition contact: (1)
your Dean's office (see list below); or (2) Josie Rook in the
office of the Vice Provost for Research, at 898-7236, e-mail:
rookj@pobox.upenn.edu.
The tabular listing is provided to assist individual Schools in
planning ahead for each competition. However, please be advised
that agency deadlines are subject to change.
