Gallaudet Internal Funding Programs

Gallaudet Internal Seed Fund

Gallaudet’s Internal Seed Fund Program fosters research activity by Gallaudet faculty, staff, and university students, by supporting research projects with small funding requirements that can be used within the same fiscal year. The goal of the seed fund program is to provide emerging researchers with funding opportunities that support activities advancing competitive research proposals, such as conducting preliminary work and facilitating collaboration. 

To learn more and apply, you can access the Internal Seed Fund folder on the “Resources” tab on our MyGU page (requires institutional login).
