Posted: 2/12/2026 (Funding)
The Office of Research invites applications for the next round of the Royalty Research Fund (RRF) grant program. Proposals are due to RRF by Monday, March 2, at 5:00 PM. However, Departments and Colleges/Schools may have earlier deadlines, so all applicants are advised to check with their program’s administrative staff. The CAS Dean’s office requests proposals be submitted to their office by 5pm, Thursday, February 26th. Proposals that arrive to Office of Research 3-4 business days before the deadline guarantees that the RRF staff have time to review and provide feedback on proposals, giving PIs time to make corrections if time permits.
Office of Research Zoom Office Hours – 1pm on Friday, February 13; Wednesday, February 18; and Wednesday, February 25 PI Eligibility guidance is documented for the RRF Program and for the College. Please ensure both are met before routing your application in SAGE.
Awards will be announced by June 15, 2026. Visit the RRF website for application instructions.
The purpose of the RRF is to advance new directions in research, particularly:
- For faculty who are junior in rank.
- In cases where RRF funding may provide unique opportunities to increase applicants’ competitiveness for subsequent funding.
- In disciplines for which external funding opportunities are minimal.
