Why You Should Pursue Private Funding

There are many reasons why faculty and administrators should pursue funding opportunities.

For example:

To create research, academic, or training opportunities for students;
To purchase new equipment that allows you to enhance the research and training capabilities of your college or department;
To enhance your professional portfolio (merit and tenure);
To enhance resources that attract new students and faculty, such as a grant that funds student scholarships or programmatic activities;
To develop curriculum and provide faculty training;
To enhance and grow the brand of your college/school and of the university;
To undertake a project that contributes to student learning, serves the community, and fulfills UIW’s mission and strategic priorities.
