Emory University Research Committee (URC) Funding
The Emory URC is a standing committee of the Faculty Council responsible for awarding small research grants (~$30K) to the faculty of Emory University. The program is intended to support research and creative projects of faculty in fields for which there is little or no external funding or to explore new areas of research that are likely to attract outside support.
Applications are solicited regularly from all regular, full-time faculty members of Emory University. Applications are typically due in mid-late January each year. Click here for more information.
