The Midwestern State University Catalyst Grants program is intended to support faculty with minimal grants experience as they prepare and submit a research grant proposal to an external funding agency. The program provides grants-focused professional development opportunities, one-on-one coaching and editing, and incentive funds for timely and successful submission of a grant proposal. Previous recipients of intramural grants are encouraged to apply for Catalyst funds when their research is developed to a level that would justify support from external agencies, though having been awarded an intramural grant is not a requirement for this program.

Catalyst Grants are competitive, and awards made are contingent on the availability of funds as well as the quality and quantity of applications received.
