Internal Grant Programs
Purpose of the Internal Grant Programs
To establish and enhance the credibility of researchers:
- provide seed funding to generate initial data for analysis
- encourage dissemination through conferences, workshops, scholarly and creative publications
To support research that might not be funded otherwise:
- research topics that "fall between the cracks"
- innovative, cutting-edge research that might be considered too risky by discipline-based peer review committees
