The Office of Foundation Relations manages the limited submission process for private foundation opportunities. Opportunities are listed on the Research Funding and Awards site. Please contact Luiza Newlin-Lukowicz, executive director of foundation relations, with questions.
The Office of Foundation Relations and the Faculty Affairs are pleased to introduce a new limited submission process for privately funded faculty awards. We are implementing a concise fillable application form that integrates the proposal summary with key information selected from a PI’s C.V. This standardized application form will allow us to streamline the review process, make it more equitable, and align it with other internal processes around faculty recognition.
