The seeds of new research were planted this year for 11 UCCS faculty members, each of whom was awarded one of the Committee on Research and Creative Works\u2019 annual seed grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grants are funded through the Office of Research and aim to expand research excellence for both tenured and tenure-track faculty. Each year, the committee works to fund a diverse portfolio of scholars across the university\u2019s academic programs, with a special focus on collaborations, projects from early-career faculty and research on hot topics. This year, the committee awarded more than $82,000 in funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe CRCW seed grants are such an important way that the campus supports faculty research efforts,\u201d said Jessi Smith, Associate Vice Chancellor of Research at UCCS. \u201cHaving funding to support pilot testing for a project, to support a student research assistant, to travel to a field site or buy equipment is a small investment the campus can make that has a big impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The payoffs for the seed grants are more than monetary \u2014 in fact, they can help research to grow deep roots. Grants can allow pre-tenure-track faculty to establish research programs and assist faculty members in becoming nationally competitive when seeking funding from sources external to the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
