March 31 is the deadline to apply for Layman awards, internal grants of up to $10,000 each aimed at enhancing faculty members’ ability to obtain external research funding to support prominent scholarly work.
The two types of Layman awards are:
- The Layman Seed Program, which provides seed funding for research projects proposed by early career faculty who are nontenured at the time of submission.
- The New Directions Program provides funding for faculty who are tenured at the time of application and branching into new research directions or who need funding to support pilot/developmental work toward the next step in a funded research program.
The RFAs are available at the Internal Funding Opportunities site. Applications must be fully routed in NuRamp by 5 p.m. March 31. The deadline is for the funding period of Aug. 1, 2022, to July 31, 2023. Awards will be announced by July 1.
For more information, contact Mari Greer, administrative coordinator in the Office of Research and Economic Development, 402-472-2851.
