OSVPRED opens 2023 Intramural Funding Program

The Office of the Senior Vice President for Research and Economic Development (OSVPRED) announces the 2023 call for proposals for Pilot 4 of the Intramural Funding Program. Proposals are solicited for Creative Work and Social Impact Scholarship (CWSIS) and Research Support Program (RSP) projects.

The CWSIS program is a strategically focused investment strategy that supports scholarship in the disciplines of design and the arts, humanities, social impact scholarship (within business, education, social sciences, health and well-being) and interdisciplinary research that connects the Creative Work/Social Impact disciplines with STEM disciplines.

The CWSIS supports projects that promote and enhance the quality of life and wellbeing of individuals, groups and communities and provide aid to overcome societal challenges. Applicants may request up to $20,000 in funding from the OSVPRED with a required minimum 1:1 match.

The RSP is a strategically focused investment strategy that promotes promising and impactful new lines of scientific research that build the foundations of science and help overcome scientific and societal challenges. Building collaborative and/or interdisciplinary teams is also encouraged.

RSP funding disciplines include the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) as well as the medical, life, health, and social sciences. Collaborative roles with creative work and social impact scholarship disciplines are also strongly encouraged.  Applicants may request up to $25,000 in funding from the OSVPRED with a required minimum 1:1 match.

Submitted proposals will undergo a thorough internal review.  Selected proposals will advance to an external evaluation. Funding for awarded proposals is for a two-year period.

Mandatory letters of intent are due by 4:45 p.m., Nov. 29; full proposals are due by 4:45 p.m., Jan. 24.

Additional information for CWSIS and RSP is available. For additional assistance, contact Christine Cline, associate director of Proposal Services and Faculty Support.
