In establishing priorities for a research grant the Campus Committee is guided by the following considerations: (i) the urgency of the programme/ projects (ii) the contribution it is likely to make to the Caribbean Region (iii) the likely effect on the further development of graduate studies (iv) Manpower needs within and outside of the University Procedure for applications Applications on the prescribed forms are to be submitted to the Senior Assistant Registrar, Office of Graduate Studies and Research, St. Augustine for consideration by the Campus Research and Publication Fund Committee. Applications in the form of a Call for applications are posted on the Graduate Studies website, http://sta.uwi.edu/postgrad/awards.asp , and University’s Notice Boards, advertised on the local intranet and sent via hard copy to all Departments as well as by e-mail to the entire Campus Community.
