ISE Collaborative Research Seed Funding (CRSF) Program

Program Objective

The ISE Department seeks to foster interdisciplinary research among Department faculty and students by providing seed funding for collaborative pilot/preliminary research projects. The
objective of this program is to foster joint research by faculty working in various subdisciplines of ISE to support larger-scale proposal development for Federal funding agencies.
