2024-25 Guidelines & Application
Faculty External Award Support Program (FEASP)
The College of Health and Human Development supports and encourages the submission of proposals for external funding. When Principal Investigators (PIs) receive an external award, they often spend a lot more time and effort managing the administrative activities associated with the project than what was initially anticipated and budgeted for at the time of proposal submission. Noting that intensive projects require more time to manage and execute, the College provides supplemental support to faculty in the Faculty External Award Support Program (FEASP).
