Funding Resources

Internal and External Research Opportunities

The college offers several opportunities for our faculty and staff to participate in research. Each department has experienced mentors who are willing to work with new faculty and students.

The Office of Research offers seed grant funding for preliminary studies that could lead to sponsored funding. Researchers also have the opportunity to meet on a  quarterly basis with the Associate Dean of Research to discuss relevant issues.
