The Star Family Challenge for Promising Scientific Research provides seed funding to interdisciplinary high-risk, high-impact projects in the natural or social sciences. Faculty members in FAS and SEAS are eligible to apply for awards ranging from $20,000 to $200,000. Up to five awards are made annually. Award recipients will present their projects at a Challenge event on April 9, 2018, prior to receipt of funding.

Beginning on January 1, 2018, all grants.gov applications must be submitted using Workspace, an online, web-based application, rather than the legacy PDF application package.  Neither Fastlane (NSF) or ASSIST (NIH) will be affected, but other federal funders that will require use of workspace include DOD, ONR, AFOSR, DARPA, DOE, NIJ, NEH, NEA, IMLS, and USDA.
