Hi, everyone!
Before leaving for the winter break, we wanted to take a moment and remind faculty members of some fast approaching internal award deadlines. Below, you can find each one listed, along with a hyperlink and brief description:
Grant Writing Mentorship Program: The purpose of this grant is to provide support for faculty (Tenure Track and Non-Tenure Track) as they develop and submit grant proposals to outside agencies. A grant writing mentor will be assigned to successful applicants and will need to regularly meet with them to fully develop their grant proposal(s). Individual(s) may receive up to $1,000 in support for projects; for multiple researchers a total of $2,000 will be available regardless of the number of investigators. Mentor(s) will receive a $500 honorarium (stipend or development funds). In return for receiving a GRM award, the individual(s) agrees to submit, within 12 months, a grant proposal to an agency outside the U of Illinois system; the amount of the grant pursued should be greater than the internal award received. Applications are due by Monday, January 14th, 2022.
Competitive Scholarly Research Grant: This grant provides support to faculty engaging in scholarly/creative research. Grants of up to $5,000 will be made in support of scholarly research activities. The number of grants and the amounts awarded will be dependent on the availability of funds and receipt of scientifically meritorious applications. Applications are due by Friday, January 24th, 2022 at 4 p.m.
Caryl Towsley Moy, Ph.D. Endowed Fund for Collaborative Research: This grant program’s purpose is to fund collaborative, team-based research initiatives in the biomedical or healthcare field. The collaborative team must include at least one faculty member from UIS and one from SIUSM with clear project roles for each. Awards will be granted through a competitive review and selection process. Applications are due by Monday, March 14th, 2022.
Please consider submitting an application to one or all of these programs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office via email: ora@uis.edu.
Best of luck!

Hello, everyone!
You’ve probably noticed that our blog has been inactive for a long time. We’ve undergone several staffing changes that have caused the blog to fall by the wayside for quite some time. After a year-long hiatus and the hiring of permanent staff, we are pleased to announce that we will be updating this blog more regularly. Moving forward, we would like to continue the blog’s original mission of highlighting research and scholarly activities of faculty, staff, and students at UIS, as well as keep students and faculty up-to-date with internal award deadlines and upcoming events and workshops. Please feel free to explore our blog, and feel free to check out our website and social media pages like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!
