New funding program to support faculty research development announced
Submitted by Office of the Vice President for Research
The Office of the Vice President for Research announces new funding available to assist faculty in research planning and large-grant development.
The Travel, Acceleration and Planning, or TAP Grants will provide funding for travel to meet with agency or foundation personnel, travel to meet with collaborators at other institutions for proposal development meetings, support for potential co-investigators at other institutions to travel to K-State for proposal development meetings and faculty and/or staff support for large center-level grant development.
"These awards provide financial support to faculty to develop their grant concepts, teams, and proposals," said David Rosowsky, vice president for research. "This new program supports a key goal of the Next-Generation K-State plan to increase research expenditures, sponsored programs and awards."
The process for requesting TAP funds is designed to be simple and fast. The Office of the Vice President for Research will provide quick responses to all properly filed requests.
Full descriptions, funding amounts and procedures for requesting funding are available on the OVPR website.
