The Core Robotics Research Grant program (CR2G) of the Faculty of Robotics at UGA aims to fund research investigations with a strong robotics component and of the highest quality. The program will fund 3-4 projects each at the level of $10K-$12K over a period not exceeding two fiscal years beginning FY 14. The goal is to provide funding for the critical resources that a project requires in order for the research to produce strong (preliminary) outcomes that would make it competitive for extramural funding.
