The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Boise State invites full-time research faculty to apply for grants of up to $7,500 to support research, projects or scholarly work. The application deadline is Friday, March 8, 2024. Award recipients will be announced on April 15, 2024. To submit a proposal, visit the institute’s website.
The Osher Faculty Grant is supported by the generosity of the Osher Institute members for the benefit of Boise State faculty. Funding is intended to defray expenses related to the proposed project; it is not a faculty stipend. The Osher Faculty Grant has awarded more than $217,000 since it was established in 2011.
Recipients of the 2023 Osher Faculty Grant were Byung Kim, Department of Physics; Peter Müllner, Micron School of Materials Science and Engineering; John Bieter, Department of History; Sydney Boutros, Department of Psychological Science; and Shelton Woods, Honors College. Grant recipients are invited to present findings of their research to the Osher audiences once the project is complete.
