Funding for Institute centers, labs, and projects is provided in response to calls for proposals from faculty that address the following criteria:

• Quality of scientific, scholarly, or creative content;
• Likelihood that the research will lead to fundamental advances, new discoveries, technological developments, and/or innovative solutions in the discipline or area of inquiry, or across disciplines or areas of inquiry;
• Scholarly strength and creative/research record of the principal investigator and research team or group members, and ability to undertake the project successfully, including appropriate commitment of time;
• Potential for advancing the research mission of NYU, including integration of NYUAD with research at NYU in New York; and
