Showcasing REAP Team Science Grant Recipients

Since 2022 the Research Enhancement Assistance Program, with the support of the Executive Vice President of Research, has awarded 20 intramural grants.

One of our programs is the Team Science Grant. The purpose of these grants is to allow faculty the opportunity to develop new lines of collaborative research that could lead to multi-investigator awards such as program project grants. All REAP programs enable the awardees to collect more data while strengthening their research and improving their grant applications.

We’re showcasing the work of 3 Team Science Grant recipients. See the videos below to learn more about their work.
