Continue to main contentFunding for Results
The Funding for Results (FFR) program provides a mechanism to fund those strategic initiatives that enhance teaching and learning. Proposals are requested in a standard grant proposal format and are reviewed by the FFR committee. Awards are managed as grant accounts. There are two categories of competitive grants: Demonstration and Implementation. FFR funds support two other activities: University Initiative projects and the Student Professional Development Fund.
