Funding is based on priority scores and on the availability of funds in specialty areas.
Please note: Academic Senate grants are made available in part through endowment funds allocated to specific areas of research. In addition to general funds, the Committee on Research awards money from endowment funds for these specific areas of research:
- Heart disease
- Eye diseases
- Cancer
- Stomach ailments
The above categories apply to both research on the specified disease and related areas of focus. For example, "stomach ailments research" can include stomach ulcers research and research into diabetes focusing on stomach disorders or ailments.
