Deadline approaching - Request for Proposals - 2011-2012 Public Engagement Grants

Proposals due September 30, 2011 for the 2011-2012 Public Engagement Grant Program

The Office of Public Engagement is seeking proposals from faculty, students, and staff to fund community-related projects, scholarly work, creative endeavors, course development and other activities within the broad framework of public engagement. Public engagement activities supported by campus resources are most effective when they are closely tied to the other missions of the university, namely research, teaching and economic development. The Public Engagement Grant Program supports proposals that contribute to these other missions of the university. Grants of up to $20,000 will be made available on a competitive basis. Proposal submission deadline is September 30, 2011. Grant decisions will be announced no later than November 15, 2011.
