Introduction

The Faculty Endowment Research Award was established to provide internal support for new and ongoing faculty research projects. The award is considered “seed money” for research and scholarly activity, in that the project should lead to further funding from external sources. To better prepare the transition from the internal award format to extramural sponsored projects applications will be shifting towards a "white paper" approach whereby faculty may be asked to design their projects around specific opportunities that are of interest to UIW. Other emerging areas of interest may also be highlighted annually to increase the depth and breadth of projects prepared to take seed and grow into larger extramurally funded projects. Award monies are for a one-year period, from June 1 to May 31.
