Each September, the Research Committee of the Graduate School invites proposals for supplemental funding for the following fiscal year. Funding for this program comes from an annual gift from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF).

The Research Committee accepts only one application from an individual tenured/tenure-track faculty member or permanent PI. Since one of the goals is to foster multidisciplinary research, in keeping with the cluster hiring initiative, an investigator may be included on one additional application from a team of applicants representing two or more different fields.  For communication purposes, a lead PI must be identified on such projects. 

Awards typically range from $8,000 to $32,000. Research Committee priorities are to:

• support creative research and scholarship on campus
• open new research areas, including multidisciplinary projects
• assist junior faculty in strengthening their research programs
• provide insurance against applications for extramural funding, particularly those involving support for graduate students. 

To make the best use of the funds available to the Committee, it is critical for applicants to seek and obtain other funds. For more about the Fall Competition see
