Research at UM-Flint

The UM-Flint Office of Research and Sponsored Programs offers research support services for faculty, staff, and students.  From assisting faculty with developing funding proposals to connecting undergraduate students with hands-on research experiences, the office supports the research mission of UM-Flint.

The UM-Flint office works closely with its counterparts in Univeristy of Michigan, Ann Arbor, the Office of Research (UMOR), the Office of Contract Administration (OCA), and like the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP), to review grant applications, manage awarded projects, report financials and monitor compliance issues.

Mcubed

Mcubed distributes real-time seed funding to interdisciplinary faculty-led teams. Through this revolutionary research funding program, University of Michigan faculty on all three of its campuses can form a collaborative trio, or “cube,” and request either $60K or $15K in seed funding to advance proposed projects with no peer review.
