The Collaborative Research Initiative for Sponsored Projects (CRISP) program stimulates collaborative sponsored research at UTC by providing resources to investigational teams of UTC faculty to build research capacity, create internal and external research collaborations, and establish multi-disciplinary research teams. The primary goal of this program is to enhance faculty members’ ability to submit competitive research proposals and successfully secure funding from external sources.
