The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) sponsors various intramural funding competitions throughout the academic school year. 

The purpose of the University Facilitating Fund (UFF) is to foster the creation of new research projects and scholarly activities for full time university faculty. Awards range from $5,000-25,000 and and the award period is a year starting in July. 

OVPR-chartered Center and Institute directors can apply for the Centers and Institutes Facilitating Fund (CIFF). This program funds center/institute infrastructure that will support more effective and collaborative efforts leading to success in receiving extramurally funded grants and/or in promoting scholarship and advancing GW's reputation.  These awards last for two years.

The MFA Collaborative Research Program aims to foster collaborative research between faculty in the MFA and faculty who hold a primary appointment in any school at GW. The major goal of these collaborative research projects is to firmly establish strong research partnerships and to generate preliminary data that will lead to future NIH grant application(s). The Office of the Vice President for Research, the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and the Medical Faculty Associates sponsor this program. 

The Research Enhancement Incentive Awards (REIA) represent a return of research dollars to Principal Investigators, departments and schools based on the generation of external funding.
