Research and Innovation Seed Funding (RISF) Program<\/h2>\n <\/summary>\n

\n \n\n

Consistent with pre-pandemic RISF guidelines, FY23-24 proposals may encompass research focused on any <\/em><\/strong>topic area. Projects are particularly encouraged that align with NC State\u2019s strategic research areas<\/a> (Designing Healthy and Resilient Societies, Harnessing Data for Decision Making, Enriching the Human Experience, Creating Safe, Secure and Intelligent Systems, and Driving Food, Water and Energy Solutions).  Many, if not all, of NC State\u2019s strategic research areas are well-aligned with federal research funding priorities that have been highlighted in recent documents released by the White House (e.g.<\/em>, critical and emerging technologies<\/a>, multi-agency research and development priorities<\/a>, sustainable advanced manufacturing<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n

Game-Changing Research Incentive Program- for Economic Access and Opportunity (GRIP-EAO)<\/h2>\n <\/summary>\n

\n \n\n

Using funds donated by the Caterpillar Foundation, the Poole College of Management, in conjunction with the NC State Research Development Office, is requesting proposals for research projects that seek to improve understanding and create solutions that lead to better access and opportunities for underrepresented minorities and women in the economy and business world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This RFP is offered with the expectation that it will catalyze research outcomes that have real world impacts on our broad understanding of the barriers to success for underrepresented participants in the economy. Furthermore, successful proposals should generate actionable and impactful insights and recommendations, and lead to future funding opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential areas of research include, but are not limited to, workforce development and education, entrepreneurship, economics, human resource management, supply chain management, risk management, finance, marketing, business analytics and accounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GRIP-EAO Program will provide a total of $650,000<\/strong> over a three-year project period with awards of up to $100,000<\/strong> per proposal. It is expected that all funds will be expended by the end of the third year, or earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n
