New Faculty Startup Program | Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research | SIU

The New Faculty Startup Program, administered by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, provides supplemental funding for faculty startup costs. The program's objective is to make SIUC competitive to hire the highest quality faculty that have the greatest research potential.

Commitments for startup can be made over several fiscal years.

Requests for startup commitments to a candidate should be forwarded by the College Dean to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research,  and include:

• A completed New Faculty Startup Request Form.
• Itemized information and justification of the candidate’s startup needs, including cost estimates where possible.
• A copy of the candidate's resume.
