RDFP is an eight-month program designed to provide full-time Nebraska faculty at the assistant-level rank the information and resources necessary to position themselves for success in securing external funding for their research, scholarship and creative activity. Fellows graduate from the program with an intentional plan for pursuing external funding and strategies that prepare them to write winning proposals. More than 250 fellows from across all university colleges have completed the program to date.

This year’s program launched in late October and wraps in early May 2023. Applications for the 2023-24 cohort will be solicited in fall 2023. Visit the Research Development Fellows Program website for more details or contact Tisha Gilreath Mullen, director of proposal development, 402-472-2894.
