Interdisciplinary Funding Opportunities
NEXUS is defined by the interdisciplinary work we help people achieve. Interdisciplinary
funding opportunities
are not only part of our mission but campus as a whole.
President Ruth Watkin's OneU initiative encourages collaboration between all areas of campus to create an
environment which fosters growth and seeks to help solve some of society's biggest
challenges.
The lists below are not exhaustive of funding opportunities within this scope.
