Grant Projects
Our Grants
The Saluki spirit is one of learning, caring, and giving and that is readily apparent with our many externally-funded research and service projects. We collaborate with academic units and departments across campus as well as with schools, government entities and others, providing valuable services and information to schools and communities wherever research, technical assistance, innovation, and help are needed. Millions of dollars in external grant funding from private foundations and state and federal agencies enable us to change lives for the better.
