Since the beginning of the PFRDG program, the NSU Board of Trustees has allocated more than $2 million to support and sustain this university initiative. For each award given, 50 percent of the funding comes from interest generated from the allocation, while the other 50 percent comes from the winning faculty members’ colleges. PFRDG funding complements existing resources for faculty support in the academic units by providing seed money for a new research area, for which external funding will be sought, or by expanding current research to a new level of competitiveness for external funding. In 2018, a new PFRDG track was added to support a small number of scholarly research projects contributing to general knowledge of the discipline, but for which external funding is not an expected outcome. Each spring, NSU faculty members across the university compete for these grants that award up to $15,000. In the 22-year history of these awards, faculty members and students have shared $5,636,596 in financial support. This investment has produced $10,591,697 in external awards. Grant winners have come from each of the university’s academic units. The table below reflects the number of presentations, publications, and external funding proposals submitted and funded as a direct result of this program. *Since the beginning of the PFRDG program, NSU has had four patents submitted and one issued as a result of funding from this program.
