Of the 21 seed grants awarded this year by the Office of the Provost, six of them involve faculty members from the School of Communications and Theater.
“The seed grants continue to encourage new university collaborations and expand the depth and breadth of our interdisciplinary research and creative works, helping us advance Temple’s goal of ‘Research Excellence’ that benefits society,” said Senior Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Education Ken Blank. “These grants are important vehicles for helping faculty bring additional grant funding and recognition to Temple.”
