Research Office Offers Summer 2009 Research Seed Grants

The Old Dominion University Office of Research is accepting proposals through the end of October for the 2009 Summer Research Fellowship Program and Summer Experience Enhancing Collaborative Research Program open to tenure-track faculty members.

Summer research fellowships are designed to encourage research for inexperienced investigators or more experienced investigators who are branching out into fields for which they have received no external research funding.

The collaborative awards go to pairs of ODU faculty members who are from two different colleges.

Both programs seek to help fledgling research projects gain data and momentum that will lead to their being funded by external sources. The basic amount of all the stipends will be $6,000.
