Education, Health, and Human Development (EHHD), Center for Mental Health Research & Recovery (CMHRR) and Mark and Robin Jones College of Nursing (MRJCON) Internal Grant

Funding to encourage inter-college research development is being provided jointly by EHHD, CMHRR and MRJCON. The overarching goal of these funds is to help groups develop research ideas that will lead to collaborations across colleges within MSU. Research groups that include faculty or staff from at least one of the sponsoring colleges or CMHRR and at least one other college or center are eligible to apply. Funding of $1,000-3,000 may be used for team and project development costs. This may include travel, supplies, consultants, training, retreats, team building expenses, speaker and mentor fees, preliminary data collection, and other forms of support. Research areas may fall into the themes of health disparities, rural health, gerontology, children’s health and education, mental health, or other areas germane to the mission of our colleges.
