Description
The Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) program aims to develop and sustain research excellence at resource-limited institutions by supporting investigator-initiated research with strong student participation. A SuRE Resource Center has been established to enhance the administrative research infrastructure of SuRE-eligible institutions and provide advisory services to investigators interested in applying for a SuRE award. The Resource Center assists institutions with building research capacity, conducts outreach and training, and collects and reports data relevant to the program's goals. This is a non-competitive funding opportunity intended to fund a single award, which will be peer-reviewed and considered only if meritorious.
