CAS Research Grant - 0 views

  •

Proposals with a specific focus on uses of the CAS standards in a Self-Assessment process are preferred. Proposals may be at the department, division, and institutional or multi-site level. Proposals may study a particular functional area. Proposals should not be for the individual use of a standard for campus self-assessment as grants are intended for research purposes. Dissertation research will be considered and is encouraged."
