Description

The Global Innovation Fund offers Seed Grants of up to $5,000, Development Grants of up to $15,000, and Partner Awards of up to $20,000 per project. The awards support research initiatives that launch new projects, develop established work, and build international collaborations. Partner Awards require collaboration with a participating university; the University of Washington–Tohoku University program specifically supports joint education and research activities in Quantum Science, Disaster Resilience, Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing, and Medical and Biosystems Science. Up to three projects will be selected for that program, with funding matched by the partner institution. Applicants submit a joint application through the GIF Terra Dotta platform, with a UW faculty member serving as principal investigator. Eligibility and requirements vary by award and partner institution. Funded projects must submit a brief narrative report and updated budget after the award period.
