Apply for Internal and External Funding
Faculty may apply for support from both internal and external sources for their research and program activities. Our Internal Awards for Scholarship and Teaching page provides an overview of all College and University awards for research and scholarly activity (plus teaching).
A wide array of external grant opportunities also exist for funding faculty research and programmatic initiatives. The College works in partnership with the Office of Research and Economic Development (ORED) to support external grant applications, process awards, and manage grants.
