President’s Research Award
The President’s Research Award is an internal funding award designed to support research teams in their pursuit of competitive grant funding. The intent of this award is to provide up to $50,000 per award for research projects that will lead to submission of one or more competitive grant proposals to national/international funding agencies. Depending on the availability of funding and the number of applications received, approximately eight to 10 awards are offered annually.
The larger institutional goal of the President’s Research Award is to build greater research capacity at UNLV and to expand competitive external funding. This award is specifically designed for use by research teams, and involvement of graduate students on the teams is highly recommended. All full-time academic faculty members are eligible for the award, as are researchers employed by centers and institutes that recover facilities and administrative costs from sponsored program funding. The call for proposals is typically announced early in the spring semester.
