Kickstart Facility Grant Program for materials-allied research by non-tenured faculty
IMR Kickstart Facility Grants provide $2,500 to assist Ohio State University faculty with facility user access fees and related minor charges associated with conducting innovative materials-allied research with the goal of obtaining external research funding.
IMR offers grant eligibility to non-tenured faculty (regular and research), with special consideration given to new faculty within five years of appointment; or senior research staff with Principal Investigator status at Ohio State. Preference is given to research conducted in one of IMR’s core materials research facilities.
Facility Grants are an excellent training opportunity for post-candidacy graduate students, fellows, and postdoctoral fellows to co-author proposals, and we encourage faculty to engage their students and staff in their proposal development.
