THE PARENTS AND FAMILIES FUND
(March 15, 2001 deadline)
The UGA Parents and Families Association strives to enrich the college experience
for both parents and families and their students. In an effort to assist with
funding challenges or opportunities for undergraduate students at the University of
Georgia, the Parents and Families Association created the Parents and Families Fund. The funding must
have relevance for undergraduate students.
UNIVERSITY PARTNERS VENTURE
FUND
The President's Venture Fund is intended to
provide grants for student and faculty development that promote the broader goals of the
University.
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc., will provide support for travel in connection with international meetings outside the United States. Faculty members, research professionals, postdoctoral associates, and graduate students are eligible. Requests will be evaluated competitively, with priorities based on (a) the importance of the meeting and (b) the significance of the individual’s participation. Application form and guidelines and deadlines may be obtained here.
UGARF BIOTECHNOLOGY AWARDS
The objective of this program is to support joint projects between the basic and
the applied sciences. The intent is to encourage new biotechnology projects that will lead
to the development of joint research proposals to be submitted for external funding. Funds
may be used to support personnel, supplies, and essential equipment. Additional
information is available by contacting the Director of Biological Resources and
Biotechnology Programs, MLW@OVPR.uga.edu, or (706)

collaborations across disciplines are strongly encouraged to apply. For more
