The Office of the Provost provides monetary support for research in the form of the Provost Scholarship Development Award (PSDA), Faculty Research Mentoring Program (FRM), and Helene Impact Mitigation Grants. The awarded funds are intended to g<\/span>enerate preliminary data or activity that leads to external funding or expand the scope of a currently funded project, e<\/span>nhance the competitiveness for resubmission proposals considered highly meritorious but previously unfunded, s<\/span>upport junior faculty and established investigators in the pursuit of new research or creative scholarly inquiry, s<\/span>upport cross-disciplinary teams of faculty in their efforts to prepare competitive proposals for multi-investigator grants, and to p<\/span>ositively impact teaching and student learning.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″
