University of Delaware Research Fund

Two separate UDRF grant competitions are open--one for early career faculty, and one for UD strategic initiatives. Early career faculty are eligible to apply to both competitions, but the proposals should represent substantially different research.

Early Career Faculty Grants--The maximum award for UDRF grants for early career faculty has been increased to $25,000. With the matching requirements from the faculty member's respective college, this raises the potential value to $35,000 per award.

The complete program guidelines are online at [www.researchoffice.udel.edu/udrfabstract/udrf.pdf].

The new online abstract submission is available at [www.researchoffice.udel.edu/udrfabstract].
