Reminder - CSU-ERFSA Small Grant Program 2020 Cycle

CSU-ERFSA announces its 2020 Small Grants Awards Program.

CSU-ERFA grants are available to CSU-ERFSA members* to support research and creative projects that are in accordance with the following goals:

Scholarly research on issues important to the retiree as a continuing member of an academic discipline or community.
Research and scholarly projects that contribute to the quality of life of the retirees in the University system;
Research pertaining to the retirement concerns of faculty/staff/administrators within the California State University System; and
Research and creative projects that contribute to a given academic discipline.

CSU-ERFSA encourages CSU-ERFSA members involved in research and creative projects to apply for a grant. The small grant program is competitive, with past awards generally ranging from $100-$1,000, depending upon the number of proposals and the amount of money made available for grants by the CSU-ERFA Foundation. Preference is given to first time grant applicants when grant proposals are of equal merit. A total of $6,000 is expected to be available for the 2020 grant cycle.

Applications should be sent electronically to the CSU-ERFSA office at csuerfsa@csun.edu no later than 2:00 p.m. PDT October 31, 2020. Awards will be announced in December 2020.

Grant applications and guidelines can be downloaded at the CSU-ERFSA website, by calling the office at (818) 677-6522, or by emailing your request to csuerfsa@csun.edu.

If you have questions about the grant proposal application, contact Marshelle Thobaben, Chair, CSU-ERFSA Grants Committee, at mt1@humboldt.edu.

*California State University retirees who are not currently members of CSU-ERFSA may submit grant applications provided they also submit an application for membership in CSU-ERFSA at the same time.
