Today, we are really excited to announce a major new initiative. 

We launched this new research center earlier this year — URI Center for Computational Research ccr.uri.edu — with a mission to support and help grow computational research at URI. The Center is solely funded by indirect cost return. More detail is available here: https://its.uri.edu/ccr-proposal-submission/

We are really happy to report that to-date ~25 submitted proposals have included the CCR as an affiliated Center and ~8 have received funding already. Today, we are launching a major new program that invests these indirect cost return funds back into the URI computational researchers community :-). 

In brief, this new “seed funding” program is looking to support new computational projects that are interdisciplinary and convergent. The max budget request is $25,000 (direct costs) and the 5-page proposals are due on November 15th. 

Please contact us on details and how to apply by emailing ccr-group@uri.edu
