Diversity Fund Proposals
Spring 2009 – Spring 2010

Through these dates Campus Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor will be offering funding up to $2,000 for proposals that further the campus goal of promoting excellence through diversity. Departments, research institutes and academic centers are eligible. Interdisciplinary proposals involving two or more departments/institutes/center are encouraged and can receive up to $4000. Priority will be given to programs that improve the diversity of faculty recruitment pools, the PhD faculty “pipeline” or advance research on issues related to diversity. Examples include:

• Sponsoring colloquia that include women and minorities who may be viable candidates for UCSC faculty positions now or in the future. Funds may be used for honoraria and travel.

• Hosting visiting scholars whose work or presence enhances diversity.

• Developing curricula to enhance diversity in courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels

• Funding programs that increase diversity in the academic pipeline through enrollment and completion of PhD programs

• Developing programs to improve diversity in retention and graduation rates, and to encourage diversity in pursuing graduate education.
