The Chancellor’s Innovation and Collaboration Fund offers funding to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, developing creativity and seeding early stage, previously unfunded discovery at the University of Arkansas.

The fund prioritizes cutting-edge ideas and collaborations and seeks to support “early stage” research that often doesn’t qualify for external funding. Faculty are encouraged to submit proposals that promote discovery through interdisciplinary efforts.
