The Game-Changing Research Incentive Program: An Important Opportunity for Our College

A version of this letter was shared with department heads and members of the college research committee on February 24. 


Dear Colleagues:

This is an exciting program, made even more compelling with the participation of RTI International, and the Kenan Institute for Engineering, Technology and Science.

GRIP will, in the words of the announcement, “allocate more than $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.”
