New process for Internal Applied Research Fund

May 6, 2010

Fanshawe's Research Innovation Fund (RIF) program, an internal seed program that funds small, short-term projects, has undergone some changes. The application process has been changed to a single application form from a two-step process, the EOI has been eliminated, and other changes have been made to program guidelines. In addition, a new set of standardized project and financial reporting forms have been developed. More information on these changes - and copies of the new forms and guidelines - are available on our Internal Funding Opportunities page.
