A central purpose of FRDA Seed Funding Leading to External Funding (“FRDA Seed Funding”) is to provide seed funding that will lead to an application for external funding. Immediate submission of a grant or fellowship proposal after the FRDA is completed is not required, although plans for seeking external funding must be included in the proposal.
Tenured and tenure-track faculty members are eligible to apply, and awards can be up to $10,000 for single investigator proposals and up to $15,000 for multi-investigator proposals.
