The University Research Foundation (URF) is an internal funding program that supports the research mission of the university. While the details of structure and funding have evolved over its 37-year existence, the goals have remained the same: to support faculty as they start their careers; to help established faculty pivot into new research directions; to compete for external funding; and, to facilitate collaborations across disciplines. Applicants can submit to four disciplinary areas: Biomedical Science, Natural Science, Humanities and Social Science and Management. This report outlines the URF program, including recent changes, as well as trends and impact over the period of 2010- 2017.
