In partnership with the Associate Provost for Research, the Emerging Media Initiative awards seed funds to Ball State faculty for research or proof-of-concept development that will result in proposals for significant external funding around a specific emerging media topic. Past grant recipients have represented nearly all colleges at Ball State and a variety of interdisciplinary projects.
Emerging Media Innovation Grants
For 2011-2012, EMI grants will be awarded in two branches of activity for which full-time faculty (tenured, tenure-track, and contract) are eligible to apply. Professional personnel in collaboration with faculty are also eligible. Read the application requirements (PDF).
We are accepting applications for funding in these two areas:
- Proposal preparation for external emerging media-related funding of $50,000 or more ($5,000 summer stipend)
- Seed funding for commercializable concepts, tools and processes involving emerging media ($5-7,000 summer stipend)
Applications are due to emi@bsu.edu by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, January 23, 2012. Awardees will be announced by February 27, 2012. Funding for projects begins on May 14, 2012 and ends August 30, 2012.

Intersection of Health and Emerging Media
Ball State’s Global Health Institute (GHI) has partnered with EMI to award two grants of 2012 summer funding, up to $20,000, for exploratory work at the intersection of health and emerging media. It is expected that this exploratory work will be leveraged to secure external funding of $100,000 or more. Full-time faculty (tenured, tenure-track, and contract) are eligible to apply. Professional personnel in collaboration with faculty are also eligible.
