Program Guidelines
Illinois State University defines research as "a formal procedure which contributes to the expansion of basic knowledge or applies such knowledge to the solution of problems in society or exemplifies creative expression in a specific field of study. The results of research must be communicated to professionals outside the University through a peer review process in a manner appropriate to the discipline" (University Research Committee, 1984).
The College of Education University Research Grant (URG) Program is designed to:
- encourage and support research in the College
- stimulate development and submission of external grant proposals
- support development of the research agendas of pre-tenured faculty
