 Illinois Innovation Network Grant Opportunity

due by January 27, 2025

ORSP and the Graduate School are pleased to share a new grant opportunity through the Illinois Innovation Network (IIN). Eastern Illinois University is part of the IIN and one of the 15 hubs located across Illinois, which consists primarily of Illinois’ public universities. Grant proposals must focus on the general theme of “Sustaining Illinois,” which could be broadly shaped around proposals that address Education and Workforce Development; Economic Development; Health and Wellness; Water, Food and Agriculture; Computing and Data; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Full details of the proposal requirements and additional discussion of the themes of interest can be found here. Please note that all proposals must have another Hub as a partner as part of the proposal, which could most easily be defined as faculty researcher at another Hub. 

More information about the other Illinois Innovation Network (IIN) hubs can be found here: https://iin.uillinois.edu/hubs/.  

All submissions should be sent to Amanda Wolf in the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs at ajwolf@eiu.edu by January 27, 2025
