Introducing the Support Program for Advancing Research and Creativity
The Support Program for Advancing Research and Creativity provides monetary support for faculty to advance their research or creative activities at ISU. Full-time ISU faculty may request $1,000 to $8,000 for project-related expenses.
The purpose of the SPARC is to support the advancement of creative activities and research at ISU. The Office for Research makes funding available for this program and supports all areas, types, and disciplines of research and creative activity by all full-time ISU faculty. Proposals are evaluated in a fair and transparent way by the ISU Research Council, which then makes funding recommendations to the Vice President for Research and Economic Development. Funding for SPARC comes from Facilities and Administrative costs resulting from external grant and contract funding from across the university.

Internal Idaho NSF EPSCoR Seed Funding Opportunity
This Seed Funding program is part of Idaho’s multi-year (2023-2028) statewide National Science Foundation Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research Track-1 Research Infrastructure Improvement award, “Idaho Community-engaged Resilience for Energy-Water (E-W) Systems (I-CREWS).”
I-CREWS Seed projects must address topics at the intersections of Energy-Water systems. Here, the term Energy-Water (E-W) systems refers to the intersection between the systems, consisting of the physical infrastructure, data/information/knowledge, the people, laws and policy, as well as the fuel and water that flows or is in reserve. This may include, for example, interdependent power and water systems tied to the physical infrastructure for generation, transmission, distribution, and use of power and water, along with governance and management practices, knowledge flows, and effects on end users.
Proposals are due January 8.
