The Office of Research invites applications for the next round of the Royalty Research Fund (RRF) grant program. Proposals are due to RRF Monday, September 29, by 5:00 PM. Departments and Colleges/Schools may have earlier deadlines, so all applicants are advised to check with their program’s administrative staff. Awards will be announced by January 15, 2026.

The purpose of the RRF is to advance new directions in faculty research and contribute in substantive ways to the health, creativity, and productivity of the research ecosystem as defined by the University’s Vision Statement: “We discover timely solutions to the world’s most complex problems and enrich the lives of people throughout our community, the state of Washington, the nation, and the world.”

To support applicant teams, the Office of Research will be hosting three office hours sessions from 1 to 2 pm on September 10, September 17, and September 24.
