Seed Grant Projects
Through a competitive proposal review process, the Institute awards Seed Grants to promising research projects proposed multidisciplinary teams of ESDRI-affiliated faculty from across the KSU community.
These grants are intended to support early research efforts in acquiring preliminary data, upon which the team can build further research, propose more robust projects, and apply for external research funding. If you are interested in serving on the review committee, please contact esdri@kent.edu.
