Faculty Research Grant/Healey Endowment Grant (FRG) : Research and Engagement : UMass Amherst The University of Massachusetts Amherst Faculty Research Grant/Healey Endowment Grant (FRG) Deadline: November 9, 2026 at 1:00 p. m. The Office of Research Development (ORD), under the Vice Chancellor for Research and Engagement, administers the Faculty Research/Healey Endowment Grant (FRG) program.
This internal grant program promotes research, scholarly, and creative activities in all disciplines and fields. The program supports projects that will lead to the production of publications or creative works, attract external funding, increase competitiveness for awards, and enhance faculty recipients’ reputation and research profile.
The FRG program does not support projects that are focused primarily on education, such as program development or equipment for laboratories, since those can be supported by other sources (projects that are focused on educational research are eligible for consideration). Projects are encouraged that involve undergraduate and graduate students when their involvement is integral to the anticipated outcomes of the proposed project.
Community-engaged research projects may include a community collaborator.
The purpose of the Faculty Research Grant/Healey Endowment Grant (FRG) program is to provide seed funding to fuel innovative research, scholarship, and creative endeavors with strong potential for: Achievements consistent with the highest standards of accomplishment in the PI’s field Significant extramural funding from federal and state sponsors, corporations, industry partners, and foundations Recognition for excellence within the PI’s discipline and beyond The FRG program encourages proposals for projects involving research, scholarship, and creative works in all disciplines from: Early career faculty members initiating new projects Mid-career faculty members in pursuit of new directions Mid-career faculty members seeking to revitalize an ongoing program after a gap in productivity.
Gaps may be due to: A period of exceptional commitment to departmental, university, and professional service Heavy teaching loads in the last three to six years Personal or family circumstances Priority will be given to meritorious proposals from applicants with little or no extramural funding.
Eligible PIs will be full-time UMass Amherst faculty members whose appointments extend beyond the current academic year Eligible faculty may submit only one proposal per year as PI but may serve as a collaborator on multiple projects Eligible PIs will have research as part of their current job descriptions Faculty members are not eligible if: They have received two previous FRG awards They have not submitted a final report for a previous award.
