Dr. Alan Rebar, Vice Chancellor for Research, Innovation and Economic Development, is pleased to announce a new, large-scale seed-funding program to stimulate the growth of interdisciplinary research at NC State. This initiative, the Game-Changing Research Incentive Program (GRIP), will allocate approximately $1,500,000 over three years to fund exceptional research teams and projects that span NC State colleges. GRIP is intended to incentivize and support visionary research ideas that will result in large-scale extramural funding, award-winning research impacts, and first-class interdisciplinary graduate education and training.
GRIP awards will follow a two-phase application process including a two-page pre-proposal, selection of up to 10 pre-proposals for further consideration, and review of eight-page final proposals. A detailed announcement that includes key dates, application requirements, review criteria, selection process and metrics to be utilized to gauge success, will be distributed via e-mail and a dedicated Web site (https://research.ncsu.edu/
