Welcome to Kean University's Internal Research Programs Application Site


ACCESS TO YOUR APPLICATION: You may access your application as often as needed by clicking the "Save and Continue" button before logging out. When the “Submit” button is activated, you will then have read-only access to your online application.

SYSTEM TIME-OUT: The online application program will time-out after a period of inactivity. We recommend preparing the lengthier sections of the application, such as the proposal narrative, using word processing software and then copying and pasting the text into the appropriate sections of the online application. Please remember to click the "Save" button frequently.

NEW/RENEWAL APPLICATIONS: If you are applying for another year of funding for continuing or expanding research or creative activity for which you had previously received UFRI funding, you must use the "renewal" application. All other applicants will use the "new" application.

REVIEW BY DEPARTMENT/PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Please note that it is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that the review of the Departmental/Program Committee is completed. The review comments of the committee will be automatically appended to the application, which the applicant may view online.

SPECIAL GRAPHICS: If you need special graphics (equations, tables, etc.) included in your application, you may load such items onto your Website and provide the URL within your text as needed.

SUPPLEMENTARY DOCUMENTATION: Applicants may submit supplementary documentation, by sending one copy to the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs. We recommend that only materials deemed essential be submitted.
