Grants

CRFS Grant Program

We provide funding for UVU faculty, staff, and mentored students to conduct research, creative work, and curriculum development consistent with our mission and linked to the Colorado Plateau.

CRFS may prioritize proposals related to our research priorities, however, proposals are not limited to those topics.

Projects are typically funded up to $3,000, but we may be able to fund exceptional projects up to $10,000.
