Funding priorities:

• This “seed money” research grant program aims to assist early career faculty in their endeavors to (1) increase their number of publications in high-quality peer-refereed journals, (2) increase research collaboration, and (3) develop a successful grant application in the future.
• Priority will be given to proposals with a strong orientation toward data acquisition to secure future external funding.

Eligibility:

• Mary Frances Early College of Education tenure-track faculty who began their faculty position on or before August 2022.
• Only one proposal may be submitted by a faculty member per funding cycle.
