Intramural Funding Opportunities

The Office of Research Administration helps coordinate the competitive annual application and review process for intramural grants to encourage multidisciplinary cross-campus collaboration throughout Touro University (TU). Applications will be reviewed by an internal peer panel of investigators who have research programs and extramural grant review experience. Guidelines and application instructions for these competitions are available on the Touro website.

Full-time New York Medical College (NYMC) faculty are eligible for: 

All students at NYMC are eligible for:


Bridge and Seed Funding

TU is committed to advancing the research projects of its faculty through cross-campus Bridge and Seed Funding Grants and individual intramural grant programs. The Seed Funding Grant Program is designed to encourage collaboration and the development of innovative interdisciplinary research among faculty, colleges, and campuses throughout TU. The Bridge Funding Grant Program aims to improve the likelihood of securing renewal funding for projects previously funded and with solid proposal priority scores. 

TU/Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute Innovative Research Grant (TU/LBRI–IIRG) Program

The TU/Lovelace Innovative Intramural Research grants are intended to encourage the development of innovative collaborative research projects in the biomedical and health sciences between the Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute (LBRI) and the multidisciplinary research communities within Touro University in New York, California, Nevada, as well as at NYMC. 

Student Research Fellowship

The Student Research Fellowship grant program is for student-led summer research projects across TU. The competition is open to all students (from our undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools) at the four major campuses, Touro University New York, Touro University California, Touro University Nevada, as well as New York Medical College. Accepted applicants will receive a stipend to support their work. Projects are student-initiated and completed under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
