The Office of Research Advancement and Partnerships (ORAP) invites multi-disciplinary faculty teams to submit planning grant applications for the development of a preliminary idea into a competitive major ($3M+) multidisciplinary center-type grant proposal.
The teams will compete for $50,000 plus a doctoral level research assistantship to facilitate team development, proposal preparation, and if needed, the collection of preliminary data. The research assistantship, provided by the Graduate School, will be for two semesters in support of this effort.
WSU faculty in any discipline may serve as principal investigator or team member.
The two-step competition consists of a written application (Due October 1st, 5pm) and a public presentation during Research Week (October 22, 10 a.m.). Applications should focus on a major research question and the interdisciplinary/multi-disciplinary team convened around it.
Awards will be announced October 24, 2019.
