Proposal Initiative Fund
Description:
The purpose of the Proposal Initiative Fund (PIF) is to support projects with potential to lead to significant external funding.

There are two types of PIF grants: Type A (maximum of $1,500) and Type B (maximum of $7,500). Applicants for Type A grants must demonstrate plans to apply for an external grant worth a total of at least $20,000 within one year of the end of the Type A grant. Applicants for Type B grants must demonstrate plans to apply for an external grant worth at least $50,000 per year within one year of the end of the Type B grant.
Upcoming Deadlines: The proposal must be hand-delivered to the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs,1102 Blair Hall, by noon on May 8, 2013. To access the application please click here.
