CI Project Request Form

Use this form to request funding for a Leveraging Grant (to enhance a sponsored project), Catalyst Grant (to support the investigation of a concept/theory), CI Project (to support other work), or CI Initiative (to develop an ongoing partnership between the CI and another organization internal or external to the University of Rhode Island, an agency, NGO, and/or other institute). Please feel free to contact the CI prior to submission to answer questions or seek clarification.

This is a rolling application. The CI reviews all submissions as quickly as possible and funds are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. We do award multi-year proposals. We seek reviewers from CI associate directors, disciplinary experts, and the CI advisory council when appropriate.
