The Intramural Funding Program is committed to the advancing knowledge through basic and applied research, enriching society through creative initiatives, and recognizing that scholarly activity can take different forms across disciplines. Comprised of two competitive grant programs - The Creative Work and Social Impact Scholarship (CWSIS) and The Research Support Program (RSP) - it supports projects expected to result in appropriate scholarly products that will secure external funding and increase the national recognition of the awardees, their programs, and the university.
Please be advised that the Intramural Funding Program is on hiatus for the 2025-2026 cycle.

The Research Support Program (RSP) is a strategically focused investment strategy that provides seed funding to promote promising and impactful new lines of research for early-stage investigators, faculty needing to strengthen their funding portfolios or faculty pivoting to a new research area. The program emphasizes the growth of interdisciplinary teams to build the foundations of science, to overcome scientific and societal challenges, and to promote and enhance the quality of life and well-being of individuals, groups, and communities. The RSP places a strong emphasis on building capacity for research efforts with the potential to attract and sustain extramural funding.
Please be advised that the RSP funding program is on hiatus for the 2025-2026 cycle.
