Research and Innovation Seed Funding (RISF) Program Now Open

The Office of Research and Innovation has announced that the 2023 Research and Innovation Seed Fund (RISF) is now open for applications. From the program’s website:

FY23-24 proposals may encompass research focused on any topic area. Projects are particularly encouraged that align with NC State’s strategic research areas (Designing Healthy and Resilient Societies, Harnessing Data for Decision Making, Enriching the Human Experience, Creating Safe, Secure and Intelligent Systems, and Driving Food, Water and Energy Solutions).  Many, if not all, of NC State’s strategic research areas are well-aligned with federal research funding priorities that have been highlighted in recent documents released by the White House (e.g., critical and emerging technologies, multi-agency research and development priorities, sustainable advanced manufacturing).

Regardless of topic area, proposed projects must be new interdisciplinary initiatives that have a high potential for future external support.
