Successful proposals will demonstrate:

  • A high probability of future funding at the federal level.
  • A benefit to multiple research programs at Iowa State.
  • A high potential to foster long-term collaborations among investigators on projects relevant to the missions of the institute or its centers.
Funding per project is limited to $30,000 a year for two years. The total funding available in FY02 year is $120,000. Proposals are due Friday, March 23.
