Ongoing Grant Competitions

Academic Research Enhancement Awards (AREA)
National Institutes of Health

The National Institutes of Health created the AREA grant program as part of a special effort to stimulate research at educational institutions that have not been major recipients of NIH support but who, nonetheless, will provide baccalaureate training for a significant number of the Nation's future research scientists.  This program is particularly well-suited for researchers in Hofstra University's Departments of Biology, Chemistry and Psychology and may be appropriate to several other academic units that provide basic research in support of biomedical and behavioral sciences.  AREA grants provide $150,000 in Direct Costs for periods of 1-3 years.  Proposal due dates: January 25, May 25 and September 25 annually. 

The Office for Research and Sponsored Programs will conduct NIH AREA grant workshops each semester.  For further information, contact Sofia Kakoulidis at x-3-6810 or link to our News and Events page.

Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI)
National Science Foundation

The Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) program of the National Science Foundation supports research by faculty members of predominantly undergraduate institutions through the funding of (1) individual and collaborative research projects, (2) the purchase of shared-use research instrumentation, and (3) Research Opportunity Awards for work with NSF-supported investigators at other institutions.

Proposal due dates: Vary by program.
