The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation (OVCRI) is providing seed funding to support Arts, Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences Research at Missouri S&T. This seed funding program is designed to help faculty to initiate innovative creative work and research programs, enable preliminary creative work and research leading to external funding, provide support for faculty beginning a new direction of their creative work and research, and provide resources for excellent scholarship in fields for which external support is limited.
