Over the past several years the College has invested internal funding resources in support of research initiatives (e.g., Interdisciplinary Research Themes – IRT; Sandia National Labs Collaborative Fund) to incentivize faculty in the College to develop teams to advance collaborative, interdisciplinary research. These efforts have enhanced faculty collaborations across units and resulted in significant external research funding awards from federal agencies, including multi-million-dollar awards for Institutes, Centers and Industry-University collaborations.Ìý
To further the Strategic Plan’s goals, the college has committed $500K in Calendar Year 2025 to create a Catalyzing Research Teaming opportunity for collaborative, interdisciplinary research teams amongst our faculty. The overall intent is to provide seed-grant funding to research teams of interdisciplinary faculty to ideate new engineering and scientific advances and to plan for submission to specific, large-scale external funding opportunities forthcoming in 2025-26. Submitting teams will be required to identify downstream funding opportunities at the Center/Institute levels of funding that span multiple years (>$1.5M/yr).
