Extramural Funding
On this page:
The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo strongly encourages faculty to apply for extramural funding of scholarly and/or creative activities as well as training grants to enhance instructional capabilities. There are diverse international, federal, state, county and private agencies that provide funds for such activities.
The OVPRI Office of Research Services offers valuable information on their website. The Research Lifecycle is a general overview of the extramural proposal and award process at the University of Hawaiʻi and covers PI Eligibility as well as PI Roles and Responsbilities at the different stages of the process.
