Internal Funding Programs
Intramural Funding Program

The Intramural Funding Program is committed to the advancing knowledge through basic and applied research, enriching society through creative initiatives, and recognizing that scholarly activity can take different forms across disciplines. Comprised of two competitive grant programs - The Creative Work and Social Impact Scholarship (CWSIS) and The Research Support Program (RSP) - it supports projects expected to result in appropriate scholarly products that will secure external funding and increase the national recognition of the awardees, their programs, and the university.

Please be advised that the Intramural Funding Program is on hiatus for the 2025-2026 cycle.
