Seven Poole Faculty Awarded $5,333 FRPD Grants
The Faculty Research and Professional Development (FRPD) program is a funding partnership between NC State’s Office of Research and Innovation and each of NC State’s 10 academic colleges. Poole College of Management had seven faculty members across departments represented as grant recipients.
The primary objective of the program is to provide seed funding to individual investigators to jump-start larger awards and grants from external agencies. Each Poole College FRPD recipient has been awarded a grant in the amount of $5,333. Congratulations to our 2022 fiscal year recipients!
“This is an investment of more than $25,000 in early-stage research being led by Poole faculty,” said Brian Thomas, director of research development and advancement. “FRPD funding supports data collection, graduate students, and travel that allows our faculty to meet with their collaborating investigators. Each of the seven faculty members awarded an FRPD grant this year has an established track record of publishing in top-tier journals. By continuing to invest in their early-stage work we are supporting a continuum of research productivity.”
