Chancellor Pembrook Announces Innovation Grant
SIUE's research and grant productivity continue at impressive levels, as you would expect at the #1 Emerging Research Institution in the Midwest.
To continue this success and enhance it, the University is now accepting applications for the SIUE Innovation Grant program.
The fund is designed to generate creative thinking that considers what SIUE could become, and explores new ways of doing things that lead to long-term benefits for the University and beyond.
Innovations will be evaluated according to the following measures: breadth and impact on the University, clarity of outcome, clarity of budget, ability to generate new revenue or save funds, and practicality of implementation.
For more information, including program details, important dates and an application form, visit siue.edu/chancellor/innovation.
