The Science Technology Initiation Grant (STIG) program provides grants to support university-affiliated researchers to develop preliminary data and to conduct proof of concept experiments, or other precursor research activities required to pursue larger, commercially-oriented grants from a federal agency, grant making foundation, industry, or related entity. The goal of STIG is to increase the amount of external research funding received by Utah's universities, promote interdisciplinary and cross-university collaboration, and strengthen the research and development capacity at state universities in commercially-oriented areas aligned to existing state industry sectors. STIGs are to be administered to the university that employs the applicant. The repeal and reenact is to: 1) clarify and codify the language in the administrative rule for the grant; 2) update terms and conditions for entities eligible to apply for the grant, criteria for evaluating and awarding grant funding, and contracting and reporting requirements of grant recipients; 3) make USTAR administrative rule language similar across grant programs; and 4) general cleanup.
