Funding Opportunities
2012-2013 OSU Materials Seed Grant Program – RFP Now Available
Letters of intent are now being accepted for the 2012-2013 OSU Materials Research
Seed Grant Program. Letters of intent are due March 19, 2012 and full proposals
are due April 16, 2012. For full proposal preparation instructions for all three
funding tiers, see the RFP linked below. The OSU Materials Research Seed Grant Program
is an internal research funding program with 3 funding tiers to seed excellence
in materials research.
The three Funding Tiers are:
- Proto-IRG Grants, which provide funds up to $100,000/year per award in direct costs,
and require one Principal Investigator (PI) and two Co-Principal Investigators (Co-PIs),
and may have unfunded collaborators, with the goal of forming new Interdisciplinary
Research Groups (IRGs) that could be incorporated into the CEM renewal proposal
in 2013.
- Multidisciplinary Team Building Grants, which provide funds up to $60,000/year per
award in direct costs, and require one PI and one Co-PI, and may have unfunded collaborators,
with the goal of forming multidisciplinary materials research teams that can compete
effectively for federal block-funding opportunities.
- Exploratory Materials Research Grants, which provide funds up to $40,000/year per
award in direct costs, and require one PI, and may have Co-PIs and/or unfunded collaborators,
with the goal of enabling nascent materials research to emerge to the point of being
competitive for external funding.

RFP.
