Scientific Research Grants

Eligibility for scientific research grants is limited. Select public research universities and medical institutes located within the five-state region are typically considered for funding.

The Trust prefers requests for projects in the natural sciences where the main objective is the acquisition of new knowledge. However, requests for research in engineering and medicine are also eligible. Training students in conducting research is an important consideration.

A Letter of Inquiry is required unless your organization has received a Trust grant for scientific research within the last five years. If you are confident that you are eligible, then select, complete, and submit the Scientific Research Application. For more information, please review the Scientific Research Grant Guidelines.

If you are uncertain about your eligibility, please contact Mr. Dana L. Miller, senior program director at the Trust, by email or phone at 360-694-8415.
