CSU-ERFSA Announces 2020 Small Grants Program

Applications are due electronically in the CSU-ERFSA Office no later than 2:00 p.m. PDT October 31, 2020

Awards will be announced in December 2020

CSU-ERFSA grants are available to CSU-ERFSA members (a membership application may be submitted with a grant proposal) to support research and creative projects that are in accordance with the following goals:

  • Scholarly research on issues important to the retiree as a continuing member of an academic discipline or community;
  • Research and scholarly projects that contribute to the quality of life of the retirees in the University system;
  • Research pertaining to the retirement concerns of faculty/staff/administrators within the California State University System; and
  • Research and creative projects that contribute to a given academic discipline.

CSU-ERFSA encourages CSU-ERFSA members involved in research and creative projects to apply for a grant. The small grant program is competitive, with past awards ranging from $100-$2,000, depending upon the number of proposals and the amount of money made available for grants by the CSU-ERFA Foundation. Preference is given to first time grant applicants when grant proposals are of equal merit.

Grant applications and guidelines can be downloaded from the CSU-ERFSA Grant Awards Program web page, by calling the CSU-ERFSA office at (818) 677-6522, or, by emailing your request to csuerfsa@csun.edu. If you have questions about the grants program, please contact Marshelle Thobaben, CSU-ERFSA Grants Committee Chair, at mt1@humboldt.edu.

Note: Grant Recipients are required to submit a final report of their Research/Creative Activities one year from receiving a grant. Failure to submit a report will exclude an applicant from future grant awards. The final report template can downloaded from the CSU-ERFSA Grant Awards Program web page, or obtained by calling the CSU-ERFSA office at (818) 677-6522, or by emailing csuerfsa@csun.edu.
