Reminders
OVPRI Research Seed Grant
The Vice President for Research & Innovation invites faculty from all academic disciplines to apply for the 2025 Research Seed Grant Award. These awards are designed to support faculty in acquiring preliminary data and developing a competitive proposal for significant external funding. A clear justification of funding need (e.g., mid-career research transition, new research collaboration, etc.) is required, as is a specific target(s) for funding opportunities. Two tracks are available: Track 1 for single PI awards for up to 1 year of funding (up to $25,000) and Track 2 for multiple PI awards for up to 2 years of funding (up to $50,000). Eligible applicants are tenure-track faculty and career research faculty with 0.50+ FTE appointments during the academic year of the research award, and with the classification of research associate, research professor, research scientist, research engineer, principal research scientist, professor of practice (primary duties in research), or librarian. The deadline is January 21, 2025. The Request for Proposals and links to the application form are available on the Research Seed Grant webpage<https://research.uoregon.edu/plan/find-funding/internal-funding-opportunities/research-seed-grant>.

Faculty may request summer stipends of up to $7,000. This program aims to provide funding to faculty who do not currently have a significant active externally funded research award (i.e., a major independent, investigator-initiated award for their discipline, such as NIH R01, NEH Fellowship, IES research grant, etc.).
