The goal of the UIRF is to enable Oregon’s public universities to better compete at the national level for federal research funds aimed at economic innovation that require a local match.

Each year, the federal government issues numerous grant opportunities that could contribute to Oregon’s innovation economy. Oregon’s public universities frequently compete individually, collaboratively, or as members of national teams for significant federally-funded grants. These grants frequently require non-federal matching funds.

The UIRF, which is aimed specifically at projects that include an economic development connection, sends a strong signal to federal granting authorities that there is an immediate and dependable commitment for a proposal’s objectives, thus giving Oregon's proposals an advantage in the federal evaluation process. The UIRF is not intended for basic research projects.

If you are a researcher at a public university that is looking at a federal opportunity that needs matching funds and has an economic development connection, you can reach out to your research office for advice on how to proceed or contact our Innovation Strategist.
