Description
The University Research Challenge Fund (URCF) is an internal New York University funding program supporting faculty-initiated research on a competitive basis. Administered by the URCF Advisory Committee, it encourages investigators to explore new research areas likely to attract outside support while also sustaining productive scholarship in areas with few other sources of funding.
The fund addresses these two complementary research needs rather than focusing on a particular discipline or topic. Its priorities encompass both investigations with prospects for external backing and scholarly work for which outside funding opportunities are limited.
