Grant Center: Research in Undergraduate Institutions (NSF)

The National Science Foundation is seeking proposals under the cross-directorate Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) program, which supports faculty members at predominantly non-research institutions. Awards will support three major activities: Faculty research projects, the purchase of shared research instrumentation; and research as visiting scientists with NSF investigators at other institutions.

Deadlines vary by NSF directorate. For information, consult the NSF website, www.nsf.gov

There is no specific funding setaside, but NSF spent about $26 million on RUI projects in fiscal 1999. Awards for faculty research range from about $10,000 to more than $100,000 a year for three years.

Predominantly U.S. two-year, four-year, masters-level and small doctoral colleges and universities.
