Strategic Partnership Grants
Strategic Partnership Grants
Competitive research funding for high-impact, interdisciplinary projects that strengthen MSU’s research reputation and position faculty to secure significant external funding.
The Strategic Partnership Grants (SPG) program offers two competitive funding categories: Research and Scholarly Development and Center Development. Awards are substantial, typically spanning two to three years, and require a financial match from the applicant’s college or department.
Supported projects often explore emerging or interdisciplinary areas, with the potential to evolve into larger research initiatives, including future centers or institutes.
The program is funded by the MSU Research Foundation and administered by the MSU Office of Research and Innovation in collaboration with the Council of Research Deans.
