NSU Faculty Research
A primary function of the NSU Faculty Research Committee (FRC) is to operate a faculty research grant-funding program based on merit review of proposals submitted by faculty. FRC grant funds support research defined as scientific investigations or other scholarly activities leading to original contributions to understanding in any of the disciplines supported by NSU. Those research activities may include systematic investigations of teaching methods, tools, and/or instructional strategies.
There are many federal agencies and private foundations that are potential funders for a grant project. Although certainly not exhaustive, the following list is a good place to start. The most common and often utilized funding resources are listed below:
