Internal Funding

The Office of Research Development supports the UMaine and UMS research communities in administering and promoting a range of internal funding opportunities. 

As a first stop, please check the InfoReady Portal for currently open competitions. 

Internal funding resources include both long-standing programs and strategic initiatives designed to enhance areas of growth for UMaine and the System. Regular competitions include those funded by the UMS Research Reinvestment Fund, Faculty Research Fund, the Maine Economic Improvement Fund Small Campus Initiative, and the Regular Faculty Research Awards open to members of the UMaine and UMaine-Machias research communities funded by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Dean of the Graduate School.
