Annual Seed Research Proposals due for the Center of Integrated Engineering Facilities.

CIFE is seeking seed proposals that envision a contribution in this broad area of research. Proposals must be led by a Stanford academic council member and should last one year with an expected budget in the range of $80k to $120k. There is, then, an opportunity to apply for a second year of funding in next year’s seed proposal cycle. The intent of these seed grants is to enable a small research team to explore the feasibility of a larger research effort. The following topics illustrate focus areas that have been identified by CIFE’s Industry Advisory Board as particularly critical at this point. However, proposals can cut across these topics or address other topics in the broad research area outlined above.

Research topics to be announced shortly.
