The Bucknell-Geisinger Research Initiative aims to foster collaboration between the region's health-care and higher education leaders to advance health-care delivery, education and research at the local, regional and national levels. The combination of Bucknell's nationally recognized educational programs and faculty with Geisinger’s field-leading health-care delivery programs and staff is a distinct opportunity for the institutions to pursue a joint collaborative mission of improving patient care and advancing related research. The Bucknell-Geisinger Research Initiative (BGRI) propels that mission by providing resources in support of collaborative research projects and initiatives across a spectrum of disciplines and organizational interests.
Support is available at the following levels:
Stage 1 — Collaborative pilot projects requiring less than one year of support: Up to $20,000
Stage 2 — Substantive collaborative projects lasting up to two years: Up to $100,000
