RRF Award Opportunity

The University of Washington has announced the Spring 2012 round of the Royalty Research Fund (RRF). Proposals are due Monday, March 5, by 5:00 PM. Awards will be announced by June 15, 2012.

Unlike agency-funded grants, RRF grants are not awarded to supplement or continue existing successful research programs. The purpose of the Royalty Research Fund (RRF) is to advance new directions in research, particularly:

1. In disciplines for which external funding opportunities are minimal, and/or

2. For faculty who are junior in rank, and/or

3. In cases where funding may provide unique opportunities to increase applicants’ competitiveness for subsequent funding.

The RRF application instructions, including specific directions for completing the eGC1, are currently available at the Office of Research web site.
