Research Funding Within Brown

The Division of Research manages Brown’s institutional-level internal funding streams.

These funding opportunities include Research Seed Awards, the Richard B. Salomon Faculty Research Awards, Humanities Research Fund, and the Core Research Facility Infrastructure Program.

Funds Awarded by the Division

The Division of Research's (DOR) Research Seed Awards are intended to seed innovative research projects that will continue at Brown beyond the life of the award.
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.
