Funding Information
The TGSO provides support and assistance to faculty who are submitting training grants.
- All requests for training grants supporting graduate students are routed through the TGSO at the time of proposal development.
- Training Grant PI teams provide requests to the TGSO via the TGSO budget worksheet.
- TGSO facilitates the request of this funding by partnering with TGS Finance team in order to secure a commitment for the proposed grant project period.
- For training grants supporting graduate students, tuition scholarships to fund the balance of predoctoral tuition not provided by the training grant and the portion of stipend not covered by the training grant are covered by centrally and are budgeted in each school’s budget.
- Grants that have been successfully funded and are renewing for the first time may request one affiliate slot for a graduate student. Affiliate slots are typically four quarters of stipend and tuition (the equivalent of one year of student funding). Once a grant has received an affiliate slot, the applicable school(s) will continue to budget that slot for all subsequent renewals. One affiliate slot will be awarded per grant. Commitments for new or renewed affiliate slots are contingent upon the availability of funds.
