SUPPORTING ADAPTIVE GROWTH
Funding Opportunities
Supporting Faculty Growth & Adaptation
Adaptation isn’t easy. Sometimes it requires a boost. The UAF Faculty Accelerator helps distribute funds and increase awareness about opportunities for faculty professional development. Check back often as we’ll add more opportunities as we find or create them.
UNAC-Sponsored Development Funds
These funds are available for a wide variety of professional development activities that may include travel, virtual conference attendance, or other activities under the umbrella of professional development.
New faculty are encouraged to apply.

EPSCoR Fire & Ice Grants
The Alaska NSF EPSCoR Fire & Ice project is pleased to announce the availability of a series of seed grants to University of Alaska faculty, staff and students. Individuals who have not previously received EPSCoR funding are especially encouraged to apply.
Grants will be awarded in four categories: Faculty Research, Student Research, Education & Outreach, and Data Visualization.
Publication Funding Support
The Vice Chancellor for Research has made funds available for UAF faculty, staff, and students publishing their work in peer-reviewed journals, but who do not have other funding sources available to cover publication fees.
The funds can be used to cover charges for color figures, page fees for subscription-based journal, or to cover a part of an open-access fee.
Seed Funding
The Center ICE Seed Fund sponsors projects performed by faculty, staff, and students at the University of Alaska. Seed funding supports innovative ideas at the earliest stage to kickstart the project and collect preliminary data that is necessary to secure subsequent extramural funding.
The Center ICE Seed Fund accepts applications on a rolling basis.
