Funding Opportunities for K-State Faculty and Staff
As a university, we are focused on doing more with more. Our Next-Gen K-State strategic plan is a guide for how we deploy resources and make investments in our learners, people, infrastructure and communities.
In September 2023, President Linton announced approximately $47 million in new and recurring funding for the first year of investment in our new strategic directions. In addition to funding strategies across the Next-Gen K-State strategic plan focus areas, new investments are being designed as open and competitive funding opportunities for our faculty and staff to support academic innovation, research and discovery, and engagement.

Call for proposals launched Dec. 11, 2023
K-State 105 is Kansas State University's answer to the call for a comprehensive economic growth and advancement solution for Kansas. The initiative leverages the statewide K-State Research and Extension network to deliver the full breadth of the university's collective knowledge and solution-driven innovation to every Kansan, right where they live and work. Additionally, K-State 105 forges the connections and partnerships that create access to additional expertise within other state institutions and agencies, nonprofits and corporations - all part of an effort to build additional capacities and strengths in each of the 105 counties in the state.
