The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $566,018 Project Grant on January 1, 2025 to the Regents of the University of Michigan, doing business as the University of Michigan - Flint, under the NSF Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083). This five-year grant (ending December 31, 2029) will fund the "STRATEGIC USE-INSPIRED RESEARCH GROWTH AND ENGAGEMENT (SURGE)" project, which aims to serve as a model for regional public universities to excel at use-inspired research focused on real-world problem solving. The key goals are to: (1) expand support and training of faculty in the research enterprise, (2) grow use-inspired research, team building, and external partnerships, and (3) investigate how these investments impact the overall research culture. This project is expected to significantly grow the university's research expenditures, expand its capacity for industry-engaged research, and increase student access to hands-on research and real-world problem-solving experiences. No subawards are planned for this grant.
