About
As part of the Pitt Momentum Funds, the Regional Catalyst Grants are designed to strengthen the regional campuses' research ecosystems by supporting high-quality research, scholarship, and creative endeavors by individual faculty or faculty teams at those campuses. Awards will be made for up to $5,000 for two-years.
Note
An Expression of Intent (EOI) is not required for Regional Catalyst Grants.
Eligibility
- All faculty members at Bradford, Greensburg, Johnstown and Titusville campuses with full-time appointments may apply as individuals or as a member of a team. The investigators may be tenured, tenure-stream or appointment stream.

- Undergraduate, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, staff, research associates, or visiting (non-permanent) faculty members may not be listed as investigators, but they participate in funded PMF projects.
- Faculty from outside the University of Pittsburgh regional campuses are not eligible to lead Catalyst grants.
