Through , 亚洲AV faculty members have embarked on new pilot research projects in collaboration with higher education institutions throughout Virginia.听
The 4-VA Collaborative Research Grants, first launched in the 2013-14 academic year, are designed to forge relationships in Virginia higher education to leverage the strengths of each school, decrease working in silos, and launch novel research projects that can provide a springboard for future external funding.听
Other schools in the 4-VA system are the College of William and Mary, James Madison University, Old Dominion University (ODU), University of Virginia (UVA), Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), Virginia Military Institute, and Virginia Tech (VT).听Christopher Newport University is also participating in Collaborative Research Grants.
During the 2024-25 year, nine of the Collaborative Research Grants are being led at George Mason and 11 faculty members will serve as co-principal investigators (co-PIs) for research spearheaded at partner institutions.听
鈥淓ach year, we are more and more impressed with the breadth and depth of the proposals,鈥 said Janette Kenner Muir, vice provost, academic affairs, and campus coordinator of 4-VA at Mason, adding that this year鈥檚 25 proposals were especially strong.
