The Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost is issuing a call for requests related to strategic priorities. UI faculty can request up to $5,000 in one-time funding to help with project support, partial summer salary, bridge funding, etc. The funding is designed to help faculty bring research/scholarly projects to closure. All UI tenure, clinical, research, and instructional track faculty with 50% or greater appointment are eligible to apply. Faculty may only receive one award every other year.

Requests are due to your area associate dean, Roland Racevskis or Chris Cheatum, by 8 a.m. on Friday, May 3, 2024. Funding is limited. Projects will be reviewed for merit in the order in which they are submitted. The submission to the Provost's Office must come from the collegiate associate dean. Funds will be released for use in the fall semester and must be expended within one year.
