Twenty-one IU-Bloomington faculty members received Collaborative Research and Creative Funding awards by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research.

The awards, each $10,000, will accelerate projects and initiatives regarding faculty, museums, institutes and IU centers.

“The projects receiving this year’s CRCAF awards represent an impressive and exciting range of collaborations,” IU Vice Provost for Research Sarita Soni said in a press release.

Soni’s office oversees various research funding programs for faculty.
