Research and Innovation Seed Funding Program
PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENTAnnouncement Date: Wednesday, August 13, 2014
The Research and Innovation Seed Funding (RISF) Program is now accepting proposals from NC State faculty and staff professionals.
Due Date: Proposals are due Friday, September 26, 2014, 5:00 P.M.
INTRODUCTIONBackground
NC State?s Office of Research, Innovation, and Economic Development (ORIED), in partnership with the Kenan Institute for Engineering, Technology and Science (KIETS), established the Strategic Research Initiatives Program (SRI) in 2010 to augment and replace the multi-disciplinary component of the Faculty Research and Professional Development (FRPD) program. The individual faculty component of the FRPD program remained unchanged.
The SRI program was renamed Research and Innovation Seed Funding (RISF) program later in the year to reflect the program?s goals.
Program Description
The overarching goal of the RISF program is to assist NC State researchers in developing innovative interdisciplinary programs that have strong potential for significant future support from government agencies, corporations, industrial consortia or foundations. Encouraged are projects that align with NC State?s strategic research areas of health and well-being, energy and environment, safety and security, and/or advanced materials and advanced manufacturing. Proposals should be of high risk/high gain and describe how the project will initiate new areas of research or enhance existing areas at NC State.
Proposals must emphasize and promote interdisciplinary research across multiple colleges and develop research initiatives with high potential for significant extramural funding. Be as specific as possible, including agency names, programs, dates and potential amounts.
Proposals that seek funds to enhance scholarship or faculty professional development are not eligible for this program. Please see Internal Funding Programs for opportunities that address these topics.
See the full announcement at http://research.ncsu.edu/rdo/funding/internal-funding/risf/research-and-innovation-seed-funding-program/ Social sciences and humanities projects with strong interdisciplinary components have been funded, so please strongly consider applying.
