The Engineering Research Institute provides faculty focused research support for College of Engineering faculty and their collaborators. We continue to make steady progress in our mission to help CoE faculty increase and diversify their research portfolios. We accomplish this by spotting pockets of faculty research excellence, identifying viable funding opportunities, engaging faculty to develop compelling and compliant proposals and helping them manage complex proposals.
Last year, we engaged 50 faculty teams to submit 30 proposals to 10 agencies and 3 companies, for a total of $79,341,316. We are especially encouraged by the diversity of federal agencies represented in our data: NSF, DOC, DOD, DOE, DHS & NIH.
