Funding Resources - Internal Funding Resources

For certain grants, some external agencies limit the number of applicants from a single university. Northwestern University's internal application procedures and internal screening process facilitates limited submission grant applications.

Additionally, the Internal Grants Program - administered by the University Research Grants Committee (URGC) - awards seed money to new and junior faculty for research and creative projects.
