President’s Excellence in Research Scholars (PERS)
The President’s Excellence in Research Scholars initiative seeks to provide internal seed-grant funding for faculty-led student research, which will provide innovative learning experiences through research, technology, and other resources. PERS is administered by the Division of Research, Innovation, and Economic Development (RIED) through a competitive review process, under the advisement of the university’s Research Council, and final approval of the Vice President for RIED. The awardees are expected to seek external seed funding opportunities based on the results of their internal grant(s), as appropriate for their disciplines.
