External Contract Grant Funding
External grant funding is a means to an end, not
the end in itself. The end, of course, is the
support of advanced research, training of
graduate and undergraduate students AND the
creation and dissemination of NEW knowledge and
creative products. External funding provides
freedom and flexibility to the faculty member.
