ABOUT: The STEM-NET Faculty Interdisciplinary Collaborative Research SEED Grant Program aims to support and encourage the development of interdisciplinary research and scholarship collaborations by faculty members in STEM and the social sciences, humanities, and arts. STEM-NET SEED grants will fund activities that support the submission of large external grants, aligned with STEM-NET’s mission and vision. See attached document in the portal for more information.

• At least one faculty member in the social sciences, humanities, or arts (not in an evaluation role) must be included in the faculty team.

• Project plans and budgets must be tied to data collection needed for subsequent submission or resubmission of external-to-the-CSU research grant applications.

• Funding is to launch new projects and is not to be used to supplement ongoing funded programs.

• Research projects must involve CSU students in a significant way.

Budget Restrictions:

• Faculty salary budgets up to three (3) semester units (AWTU) ($2,183/unit) per individual are allowed.

• Faculty overload is not allowed.
