What is ERIC looking for in faculty proposals or requests for financial support from the Vice President?
ERIC supports requests based on three dimensions. First, the committee considers the overall quality of the proposal. Second, the committee considers all topics related to environmental research, but seeks to be especially supportive of proposals focused in one of the three subject areas designated by the committee for special emphasis in the university (see next question). Third, the committee seeks to support proposals that are highly integrative, involving more than one department and more than one college.
