Funding Opportunities for Faculty
To retain its designation as a top-tier research university, UNC-Chapel Hill faculty are expected to have a high level of research and publication productivity. They then bring that knowledge to teaching Carolina students and to the public. The Institute is proud to be able to offer funding opportunities to faculty.
