UW-Stout Research Incubator Grant
Email Proposal to Research Services at: rssubmissions@uwstout.edu
Proposals Due:
Anticipated May 2010
Purpose: The purpose of this program is to grow interdisciplinary research. Funding will be provided to interdisciplinary teams to develop a competitive proposal to an external funding source that is interdisciplinary in nature. Like the Curricular Incubator Center grants, the focus is on specific outcomes: the development of a proposal. The awards of up to $10,000 are to provide time for faculty to develop their idea into a proposal. Work will take place in the summer 2009. The outcome is a completed, competitive proposal to an external funding agency for over $100,000 with full indirect costs preferred.
Up to $10,000 will be provided to up to three project teams of two to four individuals.
