The proposal deadline is Monday, December 8.
 
This seed funding opportunity provides up to four awards of up to $25,000 each during the 2025/26 academic year to support scholarly activity and research partnerships involving tenured and tenure-track faculty and research scientists. The award may be increased by $6,000 to a total of $31,000 if there is a commitment to engage and employ an undergraduate student in the research program for one semester. The CARMA seed funding aims to position a team for a successful large multidisciplinary extramural funding application.

  • Artificial intelligence for applied coastal adaptation and resilience research
