Complementing our regular ongoing research investment programs, these programs support the Lehigh faculty in pursuing a vision for the quality, character, and stature of Lehigh research: Outstanding scholarship as the foundation for everything we do; drawing colleagues together around areas of collective strength; healthy public engagement that grounds us in human concerns and is a source of insight; our intent that our research programs contribute to a more just and sustainable society; and our intent that our research programs are the foundation for a student experience of extraordinary lifelong value.
You can find abstracts of the proposals we funded here.
Updated 01/18/2023 - The Research Futures program is temporarily on hold. We are not accepting new applications at this time.
