About ROA+ Funding

Research Opportunity Award Plus (ROA+) funding provides regional university faculty members from primarily undergraduate institutions in Oklahoma with the opportunity to engage in research at one of Oklahoma’s comprehensive research institutions (OU, OSU, TU, SRNF) during the summer months.
