President's Research Grant

Overview of PRG Program

In support of the University’s mission, and to recognize and support NSU faculty in their research endeavors, President Ray Ferrero, Jr. initiated the President's Faculty Scholarship Award Program in 1999. Soon after, the name changed to President’s Faculty Research and Development Grant (PFRDG).  

This program cycle, the program has a new name - President’s Research Grant (PRG)  but its purpose remains the same.  PRG directly supports Vision 2025’s research-focused core values and strategic priorities by providing seed money for new research, expanding current research initiatives to new levels of competitiveness, and supporting scholarly activities that contribute to general disciplinary knowledge.  Successful grantees are expected to leverage funds to pursue externally sponsored research.   

Each PRG award is funded 50% from interest on university-invested funds, and 50% from the winning applicant’s College as matching funds. 

Proposals are reviewed annually by panels of faculty/researchers, including past recipients, and the highest ranked proposals are presented to the President for final selection in the Spring of each year.

 

UPDATES:

The FY25 application cycle for the PRG is now closed (January 22, 2024 at 5PM EST). Thank you to all the applicants that submitted a proposal this year!
