Proposal Matching Funds (Cost-Share)

  • Purpose.
    To assist RSI-affiliated PIs in meeting agency cost-share requirements or improve funding probability. (RSI cost-share should not be used to reduce proposal budgets by an amount equal to the RSI incentive return - that would eliminate the funding to RSI used to support the general RSI internal grants program and other activities.)

  • Who is eligible.
    RSI members submitting RSI-affiliated proposals. It is expected that cost-share will be requested only when needed, and not to reduce budget totals in all proposals submitted.

  • Application Procedure.
    Requests should be documented using the RSI Grant Request form sent to the RSI Coordinator (L. Zelazny, Biology Dept), but may be initiated by phone or email to the RSI Director. The following information will be required:
    • Project title and overview, with enough information that it can be determined that the project falls within RSI's scope.
    • Cost-share amount requested from RSI, and amounts requested from other MTU sources, by project year.
    • Overhead return by project year.
    • A statement that the Research Transmittal Sheet will affiliate the project with RSI.

  • Expected Funding. Typically RSI contributes to cost-share that is obtained from multiple sources, with the RSI contribution typically $1,000 to $2,000. Significantly higher cost-share contributions are possible in some cases.

    (Please refer to RSI's overall budget plans for an estimate of the total amount to be awarded this year.)

  • Timeline
    Requests will be responded to as quickly as possible. However, please request cost-share as early in the proposal development process as possible, because the RSI director may be unavailable at times.

  • Funding History
    Past funding provided in this category since the start of RSI's internal grants program includes the following.
    • None.
