Planting the Research Seed: Creighton Internal Grant Funding Opportunities
· Watch the program recording and view PowerPoint presentation
Program Description: Rooted in grant funding decisions is impactful evidence that the grant will be sustainable over time in the areas of research, scholarship, teaching, student learning, specific discipline, assessment, and/or faculty development. Creighton University has many internal grant funds for all types of faculty research and scholarly activity.
The goal of this panel discussion program is to educate faculty on these opportunities (eligibility, funding, required presentations/final reports, etc.) and best practices for writing these types of proposals. Often times an initial internal grant leads to an opportunity for application to a larger grant beyond its original scope.
