OVPR's University Research Foundation (URF) grants program

The University Research Foundation (URF) is now accepting applications for the Fall 2023 program with a deadline October 13, 2023. The URF is an intramural funding program that provides up to $75,000 support for research projects and up to $3,000 for conference support.  The URF provides seed funding for up to one year for research activities that are expected to lead to external sponsorship and/or peer-reviewed research publications.  The OVPR will operate one URF cycle for FY 24, accepting proposals in two categories: Research Grants and Conference Support Grants.  Each program has its own guidelines and budget requirements.
