In an effort to create a wave of groundbreaking academic work and advance research goals of the new strategic plan, UNCG Chancellor Franklin Gilliam has announced the Chancellor’s Initiative for Transformative Research (CITR). This initiative provides seed funding for promising projects that will lead to strong community impacts while attracting significant external funding. Proposals are expected to develop partnerships within and external to UNCG that establish cross-disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary projects and focus on advancing knowledge and building innovation, while exposing students to new experiences in these fields.
Internal funding awards of up to $75,000 will support select proposals. Funded projects will be 18 months, starting September 1, 2025 and ending February 28, 2027. The number of awards will depend on the quality of submissions.
Applications will be submitted via InfoReady. The deadline is May 15, 2025.
