In the Office of the Vice Provost for Research & Scholarship, over 250 professionals guide faculty, staff, and learners through the entire Research Lifecycle, from project conception and grant submission to sharing results with the world and creating commercial opportunities.
The Office of the Vice Provost for Research & Scholarship gathers upcoming funding opportunities into a once-weekly email distributed each Wednesday. To promote a funding opportuntity in the newsletter, email Melissa Peerless for foundation opportunities or Eva Olivares for other categories of funding opportunities.
Notice of Proposal Eligibility
Note that when a proposal is selected for funding, the sponsor will provide their terms and conditions to the University to review, negotiate and accept. Sponsors do not negotiate terms before the award is issued and the terms are often not publicly available. The Office of Research Administration works hard to ensure the terms are agreeable to the sponsor and acceptable to UM.

This year’s U-LINK call seeks to address the unique challenges facing healthcare innovations and innovations. This call for applications will: 1) support building a sustainable and meaningful partnership with an academic or community partner; 2) support projects that will identify, develop, and/or test strategies to enhance the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up, sustainment, and commercialization of evidence-based interventions, practices, programs, tools, treatments, guidelines, and policies; 3) promote the submission of grants to the NIH and/or other external funding agencies; 4) build trust and engagement among team members and collaborators to build sustainable partnerships before conceptualizing and submitting a grant for effective implementation research and practice; and 5) promote scholarly publications and scientific presentations derived from these proposals.
Eligibility and Funding Priorities
We plan to fund new teams of faculty representing at least two distinct disciplines. Priority will be given to teams that approach this challenge by establishing creative collaborations drawing from diverse methodologies and/or approaches to scholarship and problem-solving (e.g., a team comprised of individuals from humanities, social science, engineering, design, and basic science). Meaningful engagement of community and/or external partners is required. Strategic partnerships for research start-up and connections with external agencies for commercialization of product and/or intervention tools can be supported. Partnerships with other universities and/or outside institutions are welcome; external collaborators are encouraged to leverage matching funds from their own institutions. Collaborations with the UM-led Hemispheric University Consortium (HUC) are strongly encouraged. The HUC includes 13 member institutions in Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean and was formed to support cross-border and interdisciplinary collaborations in research, teaching, and training. We encourage and look forward to creative applications that demonstrate interdisciplinarity across multiple Schools and Colleges.
Application Details
Applications are due by 5pm on December 1, 2022. Proposals will be submitted via the InfoReady System. Learn about the guidelines and view the complete RFA here.

Open call (applications accepted at any point throughout the year; awards based on availability of funds)
The OVPRS and OFA are providing a one-time relief funding opportunity for ongoing research and scholarship. We are specifically targeting faculty needing to:
- Cover costs related to research/scholarship (e.g., paying graduate assistants to travel to study sites)
- Transition data collection efforts to a different modality and/or exploring new research/scholarly methodologies to overcome study limitations
- Collect limited pilot data which would support an application to an extramural funding agency
*This list is not exhaustive and is intended to provide examples of the types of support potentially provided via this funding mechanism.
Award Amount and Allowability
Up to $10,000 in funds can be requested for direct research and scholarly expenses incurred during the award period. Funds cannot be used to pay for faculty salary.
Allowable expenses may include:
- Purchase of supplies and other direct research costs, such as travel (when allowed and subject to University of Miami travel guidelines), creative materials, access to archives, data collection, participant or stakeholder incentives, software, web designers, and rent for performance space
- Utilization of University-based cores and other support services
- Compensation for undergraduate and graduate students
- External research/scholarship support services (with justification)
Eligibility
All full-time University Faculty (i.e., regular, research, librarian, and educator faculty) are eligible to apply. Adjunct and instructor faculty are not eligible for this award.
Please see RFA for additional information.
Proposals should be submitted via InfoReady (https://miami.infoready4.com/#competitionDetail/1887255).
