MU Grants Community,
A new version of the Grant Fact Sheet, dated 02/02/2016, is available on the OSPA website. Please access the current version here, noting the following changes:

System for Award Management (SAM) registration renewed (p. 1)



Travel and Meal Reimbursement Rates for CY 2016 (p. 3)



Institutional Minimum Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant Stipends (p. 4)
The Office of Graduate Studies released tentative rates as a follow-up to Interim Chancellor Foley’s announcement that minimum stipend levels will increase by 25% for the 2016-2017 academic year. Increases will start in July for those students employed over the summer. Additional funds will come from MU’s central budget; the Office of Graduate Studies and the MU Budget Office are determining costs per academic unit and how the funds will be distributed.

Actual stipend levels as well as tuition and medical insurance rates for the 2016-2017 academic year will be added as soon as they are available.
