IRC Symposiums were held on April 22, 2019 and April 24, 2019, where collaborative research teams who were funded in 2018 presented their results. An IRC Networking Event was held on May 1, 2018. Participation in this event was not required for proposal submission.
2019 IRC Pilot Applications were due June 5, 2019. Sixty-three proposals were submitted and reviewed by the Associate Deans for Research of the participating colleges or their designee. Sixteen proposals (25% of those submitted) were selected for funding, awarding nearly $453,000 for these pilot awards. These proposals involve 9 colleges and 43 UK faculty: 12 COM faculty, 9 A&S faculty, 7 COP faculty, 6 ENG faculty, 3 CHS faculty, 2 CAFÉ faculty, 2 COD faculty, 1 CPH faculty and 1 C&I faculty.
