Research Opportunities
Research Opportunities
Entrepreneurship and innovation are part of our °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app DNA, and we encourage lifelong learning and discovery for both faculty and students. The Office of Research & Biotechnology offers faculty the opportunity to apply for funding in the form of seed grants and intramural/internal grants. We also offer students the opportunity to apply for Summer Research grants and to participate in valuable summer research opportunities. See the information for faculty below and see the information for students under Summer Research.
