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.
