 <title>Competitive Discretionary Funding Program (CDFP) - Session 2 submission deadline</title>
 <link>http://www.vprgs.msu.edu/event/2009/competitive-discretionary-funding-prog-0</link>
 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;start&quot;&gt;Start: 12/03/2009 - 5:00pm&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;end&quot;&gt;End: 12/03/2009 - 5:00pm&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The &lt;a href=&quot;/CDFP&quot;&gt;Competitive Discretionary Funding Program (CDFP) &lt;/a&gt;provides internal funds to support research opportunities that have significant potential for external funding and that support the research/scholarly&lt;br /&gt;
thrusts of departments, colleges and the University. Requests for bridging of grants and seed funding needed for resubmission of a grant application are the types of applications that will be considered.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
More information and submission instructions available at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.vprgs.msu.edu/gps/&quot;&gt;Grant Proposal System&lt;/a&gt; Web site.

 <title>Humanities and Arts Research Program (HARP) - Session 2 submission deadline</title>
 <link>http://www.vprgs.msu.edu/event/2009/humanities-and-arts-research-program-h-0</link>
 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;start&quot;&gt;Start: 12/10/2009 - 5:00pm&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;end&quot;&gt;End: 12/10/2009 - 5:00pm&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The HARP program provides internal MSU funds to support faculty who are conducting important research, creative, and performative projects and activities in the arts and humanities. The limited funding is designed to support faculty for projects that seem likely to enhance the reputation of the faculty member and the university, where external support is not generally available.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
