Office for Research Internal Grant Recipients

The Office for Research is pleased to announce the recipients of awards through our internal grants program. Each year, in the fall and again in spring, faculty are encouraged to apply for internal grant funding to invest in their  research and creative scholarship.

"The Office for Research is proud to invest in our innovative faculty and students. These funds grow the research and creative scholarship enterprise at ISU", said Dr. Martin Blair, vice president for research and economic development.

Since 2014, the Office for Research has reinvested over $2 million in recovered facilities and administrative fees to support ISU faculty scholars and researchers through various internal grant programs.
