Grants for Research and School Partnerships (GRASP)

A key goal of the institutional strategic plan for research, endorsed by the LLU Board of Trustees, is to expand the population of faculty involved in extramurally funded research. One mechanism for meeting that objective is to encourage faculty from different backgrounds and capabilities to collaborate in the design of innovative, interdisciplinary research proposals.

Research Affairs is pleased to announce the Request for Application for the 2014 Grants for Research and School Partnerships (GRASP) program. These awards will provide support for new investigators from different schools to cooperate in pioneering research projects. The intent of the GRASP awards is to create a training ground for collaborative partnerships that will have the capability to apply for new extramural grant applications. More information can be found on the GRASP page.

GRASP Letters of Intent due by Monday, October 13, 2014, 5:00 PM
GRASP Proposal Submissions due by Monday, October 27, 2014, 5:00 PM
