Seed Grant Program
About the Program
The Seed Grant Program at Maryland has several goals for the development of faculty research:
- to facilitate the development of strong individual research proposals, especially NIH and NSF applications
- to support junior faculty in proposal development
- to encourage faculty in allied fields or faculty who have not previously sought funding from NIH to develop grant proposals
- to encourage grant development that involves faculty from more than one discipline, and
- to support high-risk / high-return projects or projects where time-sensitive funding is needed.
Program Guidelines
Deadline for Fall 2024 is November 14, 2024. The current Seed Grant Proposal Guidelines are available by reviewing the Seed Grant Call, which is also available for download.
