The President’s Research Grant (PRG) was established in 1999 to support faculty research and align with NSU’s Vision 2025. This annual program awards seed money to faculty for new or expanding research projects. PRG aims to enhance NSU’s research reputation and foster external funding opportunities. Proposals are reviewed by faculty panels, and the president selects the top-ranked projects. Each award is co-funded by the university and the applicant’s college.
