The College of Health Research Grant is provided by the ISU College of Health (COH) to support research, scholarly, or creative activities of new or seasoned COH faculty. Preference is given to faculty with new or shifting lines of research/creative activity with the potential to lay the groundwork for future applications for external funding and/or innovative development resources. This grant mechanism is intended to encourage new faculty and existing faculty who are refocusing their research programs, to request seed funding for research, scholarly, or creative/innovative activities that have potential to result in impactful outcomes and lay the groundwork for extramural research/innovative development funding applications.
