PIF - OSP Proposal Incentive Fund
In an effort to encourage external funding at Western Kentucky University, the Office of the Provost and the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) have created a Proposal Incentive Fund (PIF). Its purpose is to support research and creative activity projects of WKU faculty and staff members that may result in obtaining external funding. To enlarge our infrastructure for research and creative activities, you may request funds for a variety of purposes to improve external funding opportunities. In your application a direct connection should be shown, in terms of outcomes, between WKU's strategic plan, your proposed project, and future attempts to apply to external sponsors for support. PIF funds are meant to provide resources for WKU students, and for faculty and staff to obtain external funding. Download the PIF forms and guidelines by clicking the links below:
