The Vice President for Research and Technology Management held a campuswide internal grant competition to promote research, scholarship and creative endeavors.
Intended to foster the incubation of new ideas and their cultivation for production of knowledge, this program provides faculty the freedom to address new and expanding areas of research, scholarship and creative endeavor, and will serve as a catalyst for major breakthroughs.
