Office for Research Seeks Input
Each year, ISU Administration seeks faculty-generated ideas for ISU's Community Project Funding request to Idaho's Congressman Mike Simpson. This year, the request schedule has been altered. And, given current Administration budget process concerns, the FFY2026 request process may not happen at all; the future of this process is not clear.
Just in case the FFY2026 process unfolds favorably, the ISU Office for Research is seeking suggestions from faculty using the Faculty Research & Program Interest form and requests submissions from you. If you have any questions, please contact research@isu.edu.
