Recent changes to the RRF Process (Fall 2025):

  • Faculty eligibility is now limited to Assistant and Associate Professors (including Research, Teaching, and WOT faculty). Full Professors are no longer eligible to submit new proposals.
  • Co-Is (formerly Co-PIs) are considered equal in status to the PI and must have a measurable role in the project. Including more than one Co-I requires justification.
  • We now ask for a Lay Summary – rather than an abstract – on the proposal cover page.
  • Zoom office hours to support applicant teams will be scheduled the month before the submission deadline.
