The Armstrong Fund for Science

The Armstrong Fund for Science (AFS) is an internal grant competition made possible through a gift in 2006 from John and Elizabeth Armstrong.  The AFS is intended for faculty members with aggressive research visions.  The research should represent a new initiative: either a bold, new line of research, or the application of prior research to a field that has no precedent for it.  Junior faculty and women faculty in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines are encouraged to apply. Proposals from senior faculty will also be considered if they represent a new and somewhat risky direction for the faculty member’s research program. 

The RFP can be viewed here and the downloadable application is available at here.

The Fund will be managed by the Research Liaison & Development (RL&D) Department in the Research Area.  For more information, contact Fund Administrator, Barbara Pearson
