Internal Funding Programs

Internal funding opportunities for faculty and staff

The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) has several programs intended to support scholarship, research, and creative activities at Central Michigan University (CMU).

The internal funding programs are intended to meet the following overarching goals:

  • Provide support for meritorious scholarly or creative projects where opportunities for external support are either limited or non-existent. 

Funding opportunities are provided for faculty and staff. The programs to support research and creative activities are:
