Nearly 60 Provost Research Awards have been funded for faculty from more than 40 different departments and eight schools and colleges at the University of Miami, the Office of Research has reported. These intramural awards provide both salary support and funding for direct costs. Intramural funding programs are designed to foster excellence in research and creative scholarship at UM.

Provost Research Awards are classified into three categories based on discipline: the Max Orovitz Research Awards in the Arts and Humanities (20 awardees), the James W. McLamore Research Awards in Business and the Social Sciences (28 awardees), and the Research Awards in the Natural Sciences and Engineering (11 awardees).

One hundred thirty-six applications were evaluated based on their scholarly, scientific, and/or creative merit; the likelihood that the work will lead to major publications or externally reviewed scholarly or creative activity; the prospect that the work will result in successful applications for extramural funding; and the qualifications, experience, productivity, and promise of the applicant.
