Schacht Faculty Research Awardees
The Schacht Faculty Research Grant program was established as part of the Elmer C. Schacht Memorial Fund in January 2009. Full-time faculty of The Sage Colleges are eligible to apply. The program provides support for pilot projects or the expansion of existing research projects and scholarly endeavors. Completion of the project should result in data or new knowledge that will be published or presented in a peer-reviewed venue; or lead to a well-defined benefit to the community or target population; or the conduct of an event or performance, for example. Awards are distributed in the Spring of the year prior.
Thank you to FDC Chair David Salomon, for coordinating and reviewing applications.
