Business Oregon : University Innovation Research Fund (UIRF) : University Innovation Research Fund (UIRF) : State of Oregon Translate this site into other Languages tag, as divs are not allowed in 's --> University Innovation Research Fund (UIRF) University Innovation Research Fund (UIRF) During the 2019 Legislative Session, the Legislature approved funding for the University Innovation Research Fund (UIRF), a new grant-matching program administered by Business Oregon in partnership with Oregon's public research institutions.
The goal of the UIRF is to enable Oregon’s public universities to better compete at the national level for federal research funds aimed at economic innovation that require a local match. Each year, the federal government issues numerous grant opportunities that could contribute to Oregon’s innovation economy.
Oregon’s public universities frequently compete individually, collaboratively, or as members of national teams for significant federally-funded grants. These grants frequently require non-federal matching funds.
The UIRF, which is aimed specifically at projects that include an economic development connection, sends a strong signal to federal granting authorities that there is an immediate and dependable commitment for a proposal’s objectives, thus giving Oregon's proposals an advantage in the federal evaluation process. The UIRF is not intended for basic research projects.
If you are a researcher at a public university that is looking at a federal opportunity that needs matching funds and has an economic development connection, you can reach out to your research office for advice on how to proceed or contact our Innovation Strategist.

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
