New Faculty Seed Grant Q&A

The Office of Research and Office of the Provost support the annual New Faculty Seed Grants to help junior faculty develop research, scholarly, or creative programs that lead to sustained professional development and extramural funding. This program supports projects that will significantly contribute to the PI’s long range goals by kick-starting a more complex project or idea. Projects with a strong potential to lead to significant external funding and/or PI portfolio development are encouraged.

Awards may not exceed $25,000.

The 2026 application cycle begins Nov. 1. A Notice of Intent is required and must be submitted by 5 p.m. Dec. 1 in order to be considered for this program. Full proposals are due Feb. 1 by 5 p.m.

Join us via Zoom on Tuesday, Nov. 18, from 11 a.m.–noon for a Q&A session.

Please RSVP for the link.
