The Summer Opportunities for Activities in Research and Scholarship (SOARS) grant supports intensive experiences in mentored research over the summer. The grant supports faculty mentors and student researchers.  

The Scholarship and Innovation Faculty Fellowship (SAIFF) serves to support new research, creative activity, program development, and other scholarly projects consistent with institutional, department, and individual goals that occurs during the summer. SAIFF funds are intended to provide a one-time infusion of funding (i.e. seed money) for projects that are directly connected to the applicant’s scholarship agenda and goals. 

The Faculty Grant Development Fellowship is a two year professional development program co-sponsored by the NIH BRAD Program and the Office of Academic Affairs. Selected faculty attend training workshops, develop and submit grant proposals, and then mentor further cohorts of faculty who are new to pursuing sponsored programs.

The Fellowship is not offered every year.  Subsequent cohorts will be contingent on available funding.

Congratulations to the 2019-21 cohort of Fellows!
