The New Hampshire Long-term Investment to Fuel Transformative Research (NH-LIFT) project aims to foster a collaborative and inclusive research ecosystem that broadens participation, catalyzes innovation, and strengthens New Hampshire’s economy.
To support this aim, NH-LIFT is offering two complementary seed grant funding programs intended to build and strengthen research collaborations across NH-LIFT partner institutions and lead to successful proposals for external funding:
Collaboration Seed Funds will be awarded to faculty at NH-LIFT partner institutions to build research collaborations with colleagues at other institutions or industry partners and work toward submitting proposals for external funding. The intent is to bring together teams who share similar research interests and expertise to explore how they could co-develop a research collaboration.
Catalyst Seed Funds will provide funding for graduate students (MS or PhD) to advance critical research in support of multi-institutional collaborative research projects. These graduate students will support data collection, pilot studies, and other early research collaboration necessary to enable team readiness for publications and proposals.
Proposals will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis.

The New Hampshire Long-term Investment to Fuel Transformative Research (NH-LIFT) project is a four-year initiative funded by an EPSCoR award from the National Science Foundation. NH-LIFT is an NSF EPSCoR Collaborations for Optimizing Research Ecosystems Research Infrastructure Improvement Program (E-CORE) award and is administered by the NH EPSCoR State Office.
