INTERNAL NKU RESEARCH FOUNDATION FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

 

The NKU Research Foundation (NKURF) has established  two internal funding opportunities for faculty:

 

Seed Grant Program

The Seed Grant Program supports and strengthens faculty research by providing funding for initiating research that will lead to developing externally funded grant proposals.  It offers a maximum of $3,000 for a period of one year or less.

 

Faculty Research & Development Grant

The Faculty Research & Development Grant supports and strengthens faculty research by providing funding for basic and applied research.  A high priority will be given to proposals that have a potential for commercialization of a technology, product, or process.  It offers a maximum of $15,000 with a negotiable time period; a typical award will not exceed 24 months.
