The AIA Upjohn Research Initiative, is seeking proposals for research projects to be completed in an 18-month period, beginning December 1, 2008. Up to four grants will be awarded between $15,000 and $30,000 each for selected projects. These funds will need to be hard-dollar matched, and a maximum of 10 percent of funds may be used for overhead. Proposals must be framed within one of six broad research areas: Social, Technological, Environmental, Cultural, Organizational, or Design. Recipients will have their findings and outcomes published electronically and in a nationally distributed publication. Preference will be given to proposals that have teams composed of academics and practitioners. Beneficial to selection are long track records of collaboration by the teams.
