Faculty Research and Professional Development Program (FRPD)

FRPD is a funding partnership between the Office of Research and Innovation (ORI) and the 10 academic colleges. The primary objective of this program is to provide seed funding to individual investigators — to jumpstart larger awards and grants from outside agencies.

Please Note: This program is closed for FY25

Eligibility

The only eligibility requirement set by ORI is that the recipient must hold a faculty position at NC State. However, your college may set additional eligibility requirements (see more below).
