Each semester, the Provost's office releases a call for applications for Investment in Strategic Priorities awards of up to $5,000 to assist faculty in addressing challenges in bringing research/scholarly projects to fruition. Awards can be used to provide resources for completing projects, a portion of summer salary to support research and instruction, a small amount of bridge funding to help with completing projects, funds to cover page charges for publications, particularly for faculty who do not have grants for this purpose, or travel funds to attend meetings.

The call for Spring 2025 Investment in Strategic Priorities funding is out, and these will be due to your Associate Dean for Faculty (either Roland Racevskis or Chris Cheatum) by November 22, 2024.

For full information and eligibility, see the Provost's website.

Note: This memo was also published on October 9 and 16, 2024.
