Developing Your Proposal - Institutional Funding
Matching Funds Programs

 

From: Jerri Carmo, Deputy Chief Operating Officer

The San José State University Research Foundation Matching Funds Program is intended to support, increase, and diversify sponsored program activity at San José State University by providing increased resources to fund key project requirements including faculty effort, equipment, or other costs. Junior faculty, faculty who have limited experience in grant proposal development and submissions, or faculty looking to develop programs in new research areas are particularly encouraged to apply. The program provides a cash match of up to $15,000 to selected proposals upon the receipt of external funding.

Possible uses of the cash match may include, but are not limited to:

  • Faculty salary support on grants where the sponsor's budget maximum severely limits the level of faculty compensation possible;
  • Compensation to faculty on grants where sponsor policy prohibits overload compensation during the academic year;
  • Funding for specialized equipment needed for a project without expending routine operating funds;
  • Cost-share opportunities for faculty who typically do not benefit from indirect cost allocations to departments and colleges;
  • Demonstration of institutional cost-share when required by the sponsor.
  • Facilities and Administrative (indirect) cost revenue generated from the awards are used to offset the cost of the Matching Funds Program and are anticipated to provide for the continuance of the program in the future. For this reason, only proposed budgets that contain full Facilities and Administrative rates, as approved by the Department of Health and Human Services, will be considered for matching funds.

    Please read through the guidelines and application procedures to determine if this program can benefit you. If you have any questions, you may contact me at (408) 924-1429 or jcarmo@foundation.sjsu.edu , or you may contact your Sponsored Programs Manager.
