The Owens Institute for Behavioral Research (OIBR) is seeking applications for faculty seed grant projects in the areas of social and behavioral science.

  • Deadline to apply: March 31
  • Notification date: May 15
  • Project start date: July 1

In line with the mission of OIBR, projects must demonstrate a commitment to interdisciplinary research and, as outlined in the program announcement, lead to a full grant proposal to be submitted through OIBR or, if submitted through home unit, notification should be given to OIBR that a proposal is resulting from the project.
