  • This is NOT a limited submission opportunity. Multiple submissions are encouraged.
  • This initiative could be relevant to multiple units.
  • The University of Utah will NOT be conducting an “intent-to-apply” competition for this opportunity. However, interested faculty will ideally inform their respective Dean if they intend to apply so the Dean can advocate as needed.
  • USHE/TRU strongly encourages interested faculty to attend the information sessions for a comprehensive understanding of the initiative, answers to questions from potential applicants, and instructions on how to use their new grant management system, which must be used to submit the proposal. Details for registering for the information session are below. If you cannot attend the information session, a recording of the RFP Information Session, along with emailed questions and responses, will be posted on the Talent Ready Utah webpage.


Please share broadly with relevant research faculty and staff within your colleges/units.
