Projects to establish or leverage external partnerships (e.g. industry, national labs, universities, community nonprofits, etc.) are also welcomed.听See the guidelines听for full details.
Proposals are reviewed in the categories below to allow faculty from all disciplines the opportunity to compete successfully, even if their discipline is not traditionally connected to sponsored research.听
Previous funded projects include those from Law, Engineering, Geological Sciences, Integrative Physiology, Sociology, Environmental Studies and Theatre & Dance, among many other disciplines. A complete list of previous seed grant recipients and funded projects is available on the听Research & Innovation Seed Grant webpage.听
Seed grant projects have been remarkably successful in attracting follow-on funding outside of the university. Millions in public and private funding have been awarded to further develop programs jumpstarted by these seed grants.
Apart from financial returns, the positive impacts of seed grant funding are significant, including for the arts and humanities. New data and cross-campus collaborations are often achieved, opening opportunities that may otherwise not come to fruition. Funded projects also provide undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral scholars and other investigators with formative research and creative work experiences.
