​Program Description: The 1U4U Collaborative Seed Grant Program supports cross-campus/cross-disciplinary research teams to solve the greatest challenges facing our local, national, and global communities. The goal of 1U4U is to incentivize researchers from different disciplines to collaborate. Exemplary proposals will focus on bringing together researchers from different fields-of-study, departments, colleges, units, and other intellectual or organizational divides to pursue groundbreaking research. A key expected outcome from this program is to support investigators in collecting preliminary data in the identified topic area that will be leveraged for extramural grant applications.

​The 1U4U Seed Grant Program topic will change from year-to-year and will be informed by the University of Utah research community and the One Utah Research Council. This will allow the institution to build and support teams around timely topics that highlight/promote the strengths of University of Utah researchers, address a topic that is timely and relevant to our current society, and to continue to build new interdisciplinary connections for future research work.

​FY25 Theme Information: The theme of the FY25 1U4U Collaborative Seed Grant Program is "Women Across the Lifespan: Health, Technology, & Society." Research projects should focus on expanding knowledge of/for women across their lifespans, which includes the study and analysis of issue specific to women, issues that disproportionately impact women, and issues that affect women differently than other populations or demographics. The goal of this theme is to pioneer the next generation of discoveries across a wide range of intellectual domains and areas of inquiry.
