Programs
In Support of Illinois Research Excellence
The Campus Research Board is committed to fostering and supporting excellence in research, scholarship, and creative activities. It supports the research projects and creative activities of full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty members through five distinct programs:
- Research Support Awards
- Performing Arts & Design Program
- Humanities Teaching Release Time Program
- Funding Initiative for Multiracial Democracy
NOTICE: The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation is pausing the Manuscript, Collaborative, and Conference Support programs within the Funding Initiative for Multiracial Democracy, pending review to ensure its most effective implementation within the new university strategic plan. Applicants seeking support for the Scholarship Awards should instead apply to the Campus Research Board’s Research Support Award program. - Scholars’ Travel Fund
Campus Research Board funds support short to medium-term needs and are not intended to provide continuing support for research activities or research facilities.
