TRIAD

This seed grant program is designed to inspire new collaborative inter/cross/trans-disciplinary endeavors.

The program is open to all full-time faculty; it provides funding for groups of three faculty members from at least two disciplines/units. The teams find and if they want to propose $60K or $15K projects.

At least 50 percent of the funding is supposed to be used for student or post-doc support.  Funds may not be used for faculty salary.  Overhead/indirect costs and tuition are waived.

There is no peer review; instead a semi-random selection process is used.

You can find more information here.

Stay tuned for proposal guidelines and submission information. It’ll be posted here later this Summer.

UMass Lowell-WPI Seed Funding Program

WPI and the University of Massachusetts Lowell have inaugurated an exciting new seed funding program to support early-stage research collaborations between faculty members at the two universities. The UML-WPI Collaborative Seed Funding Initiative is intended to support new collaborations, novel discoveries, increased external funding, future industry partnerships, and the possible development of patentable intellectual property. The two universities will jointly provide up to $20,000 per project to support intramural collaborative projects for research teams comprised of faculty from both institutions.

In Spring 2019, five one-year projects were awarded seed funding support under this initiative.

No competition is open at this time.
