Faculty Grants Program (Formerly IGP)
The Faculty Grants Program (FGP) seeks to support the research, scholarly endeavors and creative activities NAU faculty. In particular, the FGP supports projects that originate from the faculty member's own professional goals and interests within their discipline, department or college mission and priorities. The FGP serves as a catalyst for obtaining extramural support and is intended to fund the activities of:
- New faculty,
- Faculty doing work in disciplines where extramural support is not regularly available,
- Established Faculty who are changing the scope or direction of their work.
Hooper Undergraduate Research Awards (HURA) Program
The Hooper Undergraduate Research Award (HURA) program offers financial awards on a competitive basis to full time undergraduate students for research, scholarly or creative projects undertaken in partnership with a faculty mentor. The HURA program encourages students to conduct research and pursue academic interests outside their regular courses by employing them to work on special research projects of their own interest. HURA applications are judged on both the quality of the proposed project and the educational benefit to the student.
