RU FAIR Mini Grants
RU FAIR Mini grants will be awarded to qualified individuals and/or teams of researchers, in NSF
supported academic disciplines, across Rutgers for initiatives that encourage interdisciplinary research across school campuses and improve the climate for SEM women on all three campuses of Rutgers. Download the Call for Proposals for more information.

RU FAIR Life Cycle Grants
Life Cycle grants will be available to Rutgers faculty (tenure-track or tenured, male or female) in NSF supported disciplines who are at critical junctures in their professional careers and who face potential significant impediments to their research productivity because of personal life events (either those that they are currently experiencing or those that they have experienced that still are affecting research and other professional responsibilities). The award of these funds is intended to ensure that the pace of research slows as little as possible, and that scientists facing life transitions can continue their research and teaching responsibilities even when events in their personal life are making or have made significant demands on their time and other personal resources.
