Identify Interest: Research Development

The Division of Research and Innovation is your all-inclusive resource for finding external funding opportunities. The first step in the process is identifying your research interests and how they align with external funding opportunities. If you are new to the process, we encourage you to email researchdev@memphis.edu and set up a one-on-one session to gauge your needs and how our office can help you.
