Research Foundation: November 1

The deadline for fall applications to the University Research Foundation (URF) is November 1. The URF is an intramural resource to support faculty research for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Helping established faculty perform exploratory research, particularly on novel or pioneering ideas, to determine their feasibility and develop preliminary data to support extramural applications.
  • Helping junior faculty undertake pilot projects that will enable them to successfully apply for extramural sources of funding, and aid in establishing their careers as independent investigators.
  • Providing support in disciplines where extramural support is difficult to obtain and where significant research can be facilitated with modest funding.
  • Providing modest institutional matching funds that are awarded contingent upon a successful external peer-reviewed application that requires an institutional match.

The University Research Foundation guidelines are on line at www.upenn.edu/research/FoundationGuidelines.htm. For questions contact Lanese Rogers at (215) 898-7236, in the Office of the Vice Provost for Research, 119 College Hall.
