The Illinois Applied Research Institute is launching a seed funding program to infuse ready-to-go applied research projects with the money needed to get past a developmental hurdle or a technical challenge. The Applied Research Seed Funding Program will fund projects in areas such as advanced materials, manufacturing technologies, cybersecurity, Big Data, plasma and laser-material interactions, petrochemicals and fuels, or energy generation, distribution, and control systems. To be eligible for seed funding, principal investigators must be University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign faculty or full-time research academic professionals. Learn more and apply.
