Applications are currently closed.
Core Facilities Seed Grant Program
The Georgia Tech Institute for Matter and Systems (IMS) is an Interdisciplinary Research Institute (IRI) comprised of faculty and students who leverage state-of-the-art facilities and expert technical staff to create systems for solving societal, technological, and scientific challenges. Applications of this research span all disciplines in science and engineering with particular emphasis on microelectronics, the built environment, human-centric technologies, and frontiers in research infrastructure.
As there can be a learning curve associated with initial proof-of-concept development and testing using unfamiliar tools and techniques, this seed grant program was developed to expedite the initiation of graduate students and new research projects into productive activity. Successful proposals to this program will identify a new, currently-unfunded research idea that requires core facility access to generate preliminary data necessary to pursue other funding avenues.
Applications due October 1, 2025.
