This small-grants program is designed to support Schools’ diversity plans, by advancing the career success of outstanding mid-career faculty who have received tenure for the first time in the previous seven years, have made a recent, significant contribution to their field, and who contribute to the diversity goals of the University by their research, teaching, and mentoring activities.
Applications will be accepted for:
- Support of new or ongoing research and scholarship
- Seed funding for innovative research for which external funding would be difficult to obtain
- Curricular development projects that focus on issues of diversity
Requests for proposals occur during the spring semester annually. The maximum award is $37,500 total over three years.
