A committee of faculty from across disciplines and schools is charged with reviewing Discovery Grant applications and providing funding recommendations. Their role enables the success of the program, which represents a key component of our efforts to support faculty – enabling work on projects that are at the cutting edge of their fields and often lead to substantial external funding opportunities.
