Here you will find a list of helpful links and information for Franklin College research, grants and available opportunities to University of Georgia professors, researchers, students and more.

Multidisciplinary SEED Grants

Franklin established two new opportunities for its faculty to tackle complex topics by collaborating across disciplines in research and teaching. This new program responded to the need for new paradigms that shape future research, life-long learning, service, and entrepreneurship. It positions Franklin at the forefront of research and instruction. This program has two tracks – Rapid Multidisciplinary Proposals (RIP) and Innovation Multidisciplinary Instruction (I-Cubed). The RIP program seeks to annually accelerate new or existing multidisciplinary programs within the college – designed to augment and supplement existing seed grant efforts to foster rapid idea generation, data collection, and/or team building. The I-Cubed program enables faculty to collaborate on cross-disciplinary course development. Pairs of faculty members from two different disciplines develop two new courses and then implement them. Collaborations are encouraged across the five conventional disciplines of the college – arts; humanities; social and behavioral science; mathematical and physical sciences; and biological sciences.
