Research Funding Programs Within Brown
Funds and Prizes 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.
Brown's Core Research Facility (CRF) Infrastructure Program supports the development of specialized core research facilities and the maintenance of their equipment.
The Division of Research recognizes the outstanding research achievements of Brown faculty through the Research Achievement Awards program. Awards are made annually or every two years, depending on the award type, each totaling $5,000.
Other Sources of Research Funding at Brown
In addition to the institutional-level internal funding stream managed by the Division of Research, several academic departments also offer internal research funding.
