Save the Date: Chancellor's Innovation and Collaboration Fund 2023
The Division of Research and Innovation is accepting applications for the next Chancellor's Innovation and Collaboration Fund. The submission deadline is set for March 31, with funds available by July 3.
The Innovation and Collaboration Fund is one of four subsets of the Chancellor's Fund, which is designed to provide support for research, discovery and creative activity opportunities that have not been possible given the dearth of external competitive programs that support "early stage" funding of new projects and collaborations, as well as financial constraints previously faced at the university.
Funding will be awarded to research teams who propose projects that bring the academic community together in exciting and innovative ways. The selection committee is most interested in projects that aim to seek external funding beyond the initial stage of the research process. All full-time faculty at the Fayetteville campus of the U of A are eligible to serve as a principal investigator.
