About this event
The Office of Research and Economic Development and the Division of Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine at Mississippi State University are soliciting proposals from faculty who desire to create interdisciplinary, cross-college research groups on campus. The objective of this program is to improve research competitiveness by fostering interdisciplinary collaboration focused on a common research theme and leading directly to the submission of a competitive proposal to an external funding agency. The proposal must have signature of approval from the Associate Dean for Research for each participating college. To apply for the cross-college research grant program, faculty should submit an application to the Associate Dean of Research for the college of the principal investigator no later than Sept. 11. In addition to the cross-college grant program, ORED is also soliciting proposals from faculty to create innovative, faculty-directed research opportunities for talented undergraduate students. A wide range of projects will be considered as long as the budget explicitly supports undergraduate research. The ideal project will produce results that can be incorporated into a publication or serve as preliminary results for a proposal submission. To apply for the ORED undergrad research program, faculty should submit an application with an attached description of the proposed research (including the budget) not to exceed two pages in length to the appropriate Associate Dean for Research no later than Sept. 11.
