The University Research Committee makes this application available in advance of formal approval of funding to allow faculty time to write their proposal and to allow funding of those proposals as soon as funds are allocated.
Institutional Review Board (Human Subjects Protection) Consideration: In order to expedite the process, faculty are encouraged submit IRB applications to college representatives concurrent with Intramural Research and Creative Endeavor Award application submissions.
Other Helpful Links: Intramural awards often involve travel, purchasing supplies and/or equipment, and student employment. Please follow guidelines in the MSU Purchasing Manual, MSU Travel Policy, and MSU Student Employment Guide to ensure your proposed research aligns with university policies and procedures.
