The University of Missouri’s Division of Research, Innovation and Impact awarded the first round of 2024-25 Research Council grants to faculty investigators who submitted proposals in August.
This internal funding of up to $15,000 supports research, scholarship and creative endeavors that lead to book contracts, juried theatre and music performances, art exhibits, peer-reviewed articles and the generation of pilot data to bolster proposals for external funding.
During the 2024-25 academic year, Mizzou faculty will have three more opportunities to apply for Research Council funding through InfoReady. Deadlines are:
- Jan. 21, 2025
- March 31, 2025
Below are investigators with newly awarded Research Council grants.
