Rice and TMC Collaborator Fund

Available to Rice faculty in all disciplines, the fund awards seed grants up to $50,000 for new collaborative research projects with faculty of Texas Medical Center health-related institutions. Rice ENRICH will fund half to the Rice co-PI, with matching support required of the collaborator at his/her institution. The seed grants should lead to self-sustaining, nationally competitive research programs that will address critically important problems in or relevant to health care.

The Rice and TMC Collaborator Fund application for FY2027 is currently closed.
