Research Funding Within Brown
Funds Awarded by the Division
The Division of Research's 2026 Research Seed Program is intended to support activities necessary to advance competitive research proposals, such as performing preliminary work and facilitating collaboration.
Designed to recognize excellence in scholarship, the Richard B. Salomon Faculty Research Awards fund exceptional faculty research projects. From 1995 to 1999, the program was funded by the bequest of the late Richard B. Salomon, Chancellor of Brown University. Since 1999, the University has continued to fund this program.
Humanities Research Funds help support faculty research in departments and fields in the arts, humanities and social sciences with limited external funding opportunities.
Brown's Core Research Facility (CRF) Infrastructure Program supports the development of specialized core research facilities and the maintenance of their equipment.
