Archive note: This is the 2025 seed-funding call, not a currently open solicitation. Contact iacr-group@uri.edu for current program information.

I’m really happy to report that over FY ’25, ~70 submitted proposals included the CCR as an affiliated Center/Institute and historically we have averaged a ~50% acceptance rate. Thank YOU for your strong support. Today, we are continuing one of our key programs that invests these indirect cost return funds back into the URI computational researchers community :-). In brief, this new “seed funding” program is looking to support new computational projects that are interdisciplinary and convergent. The max budget request is $25,000 (direct costs) and the 5-page proposals are due on November 15, 2025. Teams who have received funding previously from this program are not eligible this cycle.
