The OVCR Seed Grants for Interdisciplinary Research program provides funds to support interdisciplinary teams collaborating on new and innovative research that has potential for broad scientific or societal impact. Seed Grants are up to $50,000 over one year. Smaller budgets are encouraged to increase the number of potential awards. The OVCR expects to fund a few awards.
Seed grants will address complex transformative problems that require an interdisciplinary approach; are currently not funded; and have a future potential for increased funding, either through the federal government or through substantial foundation or philanthropic support. These funds can be used to gather pilot data with a goal of successfully competing for future sponsored research opportunities.
