Faculty Research and Development Awards (FRDA) Seed Funding

Faculty Research and Development Awards (FRDA), funded by CHSS, are short-term awards that are designed to help tenured and tenure-track faculty initiate new programs of research and scholarship or enhance existing ones. FRDA Seed Funding Leading to External Funding provides funding ($10,000 - $15,000) for projects that position faculty to be more competitive when applying for external grant or fellowship funding. The project period is June 1, 2024-August 31, 2025. 

A Call for Proposals with application instructions and additional information are posted at https://chss.gmu.edu/support/frda.  Applications for the FRDA are submitted to the CHSS Associate Dean for Research (chssadr@gmu.edu).
