    our new ARI website: http://artsresearch.ucsc.edu/ari


The purpose of the Arts Research Institute is to enhance the national and
international prominence of the arts at UCSC through publication, performance,
exhibition, or curation, and to increase the quality and vitality of research and
creative work in theory, scholarship, and practice in the arts. The Institute seeks to
foster a vigorous and visible environment of intellectual activity and achievement.

The Executive Committee of the ARI oversees the distribution of funds to support
research and creative activity by ladder faculty in the Arts Division.

* Off-Cycle Travel/Contingency Requests - up to $3000

When available, off-cycle travel funds are intended to supplement Academic Senate COR travel funds
to venues at which faculty have been invited to present research or other creative activity.

Off-cycle contingency funds, when available, are intended to support unforeseen research opportunities
which arise outside the regular ARI funding cycles.

Off-cycle proposals should include an explanation of the unforeseen contingency or travel circumstance, and a budget.
In general, contingency funds will NOT be granted for projects previously funded.

If applying for funds to supplement an existing ARI-funded project, the narrative must explain why additional
support is required, and why such a need could not have been foreseen at the time of the original application to ARI.
Please supply ARI with documentation concerning your contingency fund request
.

To be eligible for ARI off-cycle travel funds, you must have already applied to the Academic Senate COR for travel funds (please include a copy of your Academic Senate COR Travel Grant request). You may apply for funds to supplement COR travel funding to a single venue, or for travel to a second venue.

In any case you must apply for “off-cycle” funds prior to making expenditures or undertaking the travel for which you will be reimbursed. These funds may not be applied retroactively.

No more than $2000 in contingency funds will be awarded to a person in one year. No one person can receive more than $1K in travel and $2K in contingency funding in any academic year.

Application for off-cycle funding is on-going. Decisions will be made by the Executive Committee on a case-by-case,
first come, first served basis until the off-cycle monies are expended.

Send your Off-cycle request applications to ARI Administrator Christina Waters via email: xtina@ucsc.edu.
