$71,000 remains for projects
Feb. 27 is the deadline for applying for 1997-98 internal funding for university research.
        There remains $41,000 to disburse from the SSHRC Committee on Research and $30,000 from the Natural Sciences Research Committee.
        Applications which fall under the jurisdiction of more than one committee must be submitted by Feb. 20. Research applications which involve human subjects require approval from the committee on human research (CHR) and will be considered incomplete if the CHR form is not included.
        Application forms for the above competitions are available in the research office.

Grants up to $1,000
The SSHRC sub-committee on university aid to research considers applications for grants up to $1,000 for original research projects whose modest size, time constraints or early stage of development makes them ineligible for external funds.
        This committee will also consider applications for international travel grants up to $1,000. Apply by Feb. 20.
