TRANSFORM SEED Grants (STRP) Call for Proposals
Boise State, as part of its Translational Research Ambassadors Network for Strengthening Institutional Capacity and Fostering an Open and Responsive Mindset (TRANSFORM) award, is pleased to announce the establishment of a TRANSFORM Seed Grants Program. In partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Accelerating Research Translation (ART) program, the goal of the TRANSFORM Seed Grants Program is to “increase the scale and pace of advancing discoveries made while conducting academic research into tangible solutions that benefit the public.” Over the life of the NSF ART award, the TRANSFORM Research Seed Grants Program will have invested over $2M to catalyze translational research at Boise State. The investments are being made in two tracks: a market-oriented track (Track 1) and a community engaged track (Track 2).
