TIGER Grant Awardees
Overview
The Dean’s Advisory Council of the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the Transformative Initiative for Generating Extramural Research (TIGER) grants program.
The purpose of this program is to provide financial support for the establishment, or expansion, of collaborations that are multi-disciplinary in nature and thus lead to the development of more competitive, center-type proposals and significant collaborative proposals. These efforts should support key areas that align with the strategic priorities in the ClemsonForward Strategic Plan. Proposals need not be limited to computing, engineering, and applied sciences-specific domains. For instance, proposal areas can include educational or training initiatives or topics that are a convergence of traditional disciplines.
