Among the Research Council competitions are the Faculty Seed, Grants-in-Aid and Interdisciplinary opportunities. Funding amounts vary. The submission deadline for these three opportunities is Friday, Oct. 12.
Layman Awards provide funding for projects that enhance the grantee’s ability to obtain external funding to support prominent scholarly work.
Layman Seed grants provide funding for projects by non-tenured, early career faculty. New Directions awards provide funding for tenured faculty who are re-entering research or branching into new directions.
The maximum funding amount for Layman opportunities is $10,000.
