Seed funding for emerging technology
The ESIP Lab releases two Request for Proposals (RPFs) annually seeking innovative ideas for high-risk, high-reward projects and/or seed funding necessary to demonstrate a proof of concept. Proposals that are collaborative across academic departments or institutions receive priority. Proposal duration is six months with a maximum $10,000 budget.
RPFs are released in April and October. See a list of our previously funded projects here.
