The Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) grant is designed to bolster research capabilities at predominantly undergraduate institutions. Offered by all National Science Foundation (NSF) directorates, its primary purpose is to empower faculty members by providing crucial funding. This includes support for individual and collaborative research projects, enabling innovative studies across various disciplines. Furthermore, the grant facilitates the acquisition of essential shared-use research instrumentation, enhancing institutional research infrastructure. It also offers Research Opportunity Awards, allowing faculty to collaborate with NSF-supported investigators at other institutions, fostering broader scientific engagement. Proposals are evaluated by NSF programs aligned with the research’s disciplinary area, ensuring specialized assessment and funding. This initiative aims to strengthen research output and opportunities within undergraduate academic settings.

Description: | The Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) activity supports research by faculty members of predominantly undergraduate institutions through the funding of (1) individual and collaborative research projects, (2) the purchase of shared-use research instrumentation, and (3) Research Opportunity Awards for work with NSF-supported investigators at other institutions. All NSF directorates participate in the RUI activity. RUI proposals are evaluated and funded by the NSF programs in the disciplinary areas of the proposed research. Eligible “predominantly undergraduate” institutions include U.S. two-year, four-year, masters-level, and small doctoral colleges and universities that (1) grant baccalaureate degrees in NSF-supported fields, or provide programs of instruction for students pursuing such degrees with institutional transfers (e.g., two-year schools), (2) have undergraduate enrollment exceeding graduate enrollment, and (3) award an average of no more than 10 Ph.D. or D.Sc. degrees per year in all NSF-supportable disciplines. Autonomous campuses in a system are considered independently, although they may be submitting their proposals through a central office. A Research Opportunity Award is usually funded as a supplement to the NSF grant of the host researcher, and the application is submitted by the host institution. |
