Beyond these funds, the Institute Director and one Research Affiliate position are funded from University baseline dollars. All other positions within the Institute, with the exception of Research Affiliate positions connected to various academic units are funded from research grants and contracts.

Financial Stability
The Health, Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute is reasonably stable financially so long as endowment income does not drop dramatically and we have good external grant support. However, a major deficiency with the HLHP Research Institute is the lack of baseline funding to assist in its operation and to ensure that the efforts of faculty members are used optimally. The provision of baseline funds for the position of Institute Secretary and Associate Director (Administration) would enhance our effectiveness and our efficiency. With the growth of the Institute comes the requirement of core support services to sustain commitments from our community partners, retain our outstanding young faculty members, and demonstrate the level of research and productivity expected.
