Research Grants Information
Information about specific grants and opportunities
We partner with the Office of Research Administration (ORA) to encourage faculty and administration to seek out, collaborate, and share knowledge about successfully navigating the grants process. This joint effort aims to:
- Facilitate the dissemination of internal and external grant opportunities
- Hold grants workshops where experienced faculty and visitors share their knowledge of the grants process
- Publicize to the university community the grants resources and help available to them
- Forge partnerships among faculty
- Encourage faculty to mentor each other and to include students in grants writing and projects
- Make the entire grants process more accessible to UMass Dartmouth faculty and students
- Increase the amount of grant funds awarded to UMass Dartmouth from external sources
ORA offers a range of services including research and information, proposal development and submission, and award negotiation. For example:
- University policies regarding grants
- Faculty guide for sponsored projects
- Internal funding opportunities
- Grants database and funding sources

Each year MWPHE awards professional development funds to up to three members of the MWPHE: one from Massachusetts public universities, one from the state colleges, and one from the state's community colleges.
