Call for proposals: Seed Translational Research Projects
An interdisciplinary university-wide team is working on a large-scale proposal for a new NSF program called Accelerating Research Translation (ART). We will be requesting $6 million over 4 years to increase Lehigh's institutional capacity to translate research at the university into actual use and impact in society.
We are currently seeking faculty-led proposals for Seed Translational Research Projects, which can be funded as part of the overall ART award. We seek projects that will translate fundamental research into real world impact – impacts that can be economic and/or social – within a relatively brief window of time. Read more here >

Featured Resources
Visit the LIRA learning page, featuring training resources for how to use Lehigh's Integrated Research Administration (LIRA) system for proposal development & submission, sponsored agreement initiation, and award administration.
This guide explains key concepts for faculty and staff who are involved in applying for, conducting, and stewarding research programs. The content is specifically related to sponsored programs, as well as topics that are important regardless of the source of support.
Ever wonder what types of activities require IRB review? Take a look at our handy guidance which helps researchers understand the criteria for “human subjects research” at Lehigh.

Ainsley Lamberton
Administrative Director
How would you describe your job to a layperson?
I'm sort of an air traffic controller for the VPR and its offices, ensuring that my colleagues have what they need to be successful in support of research at Lehigh. Outside of that day-to-day, I collaborate across campus to continually improve our research environment, both for faculty and staff. I work with wonderful people, and it's exciting to see Lehigh evolve.
What are your hobbies? I'm an avid reader, and I love to travel and paddleboard. I am also very involved in postcard writing campaigns that encourage voter registration and engagement.
What is something that people may not know about you? Robert A. Lamberton, who was president of Lehigh from 1880-1893, was my great-great-great-great uncle. Our common ancestors came to Carlisle, PA from Ireland in the late 1700s. My branch of Lambertons ended up in Minnesota, where I was born. I had no idea about this history when I started working at Lehigh!
