I believe that encouraging diversity in the learning experience is a key component that contributes significantly to the quality of life on campus and inspires us to even greater accomplishments. Therefore, I invite you to take part in this year's Presidential Mini-Grants for Departmental Diversity Initiative.
The Presidential Mini-Grants for Departmental Diversity Initiative is designed to foster new projects, to test out ideas and to determine what may be the seeds of growth for the University. This long-standing program supports selected proposals that promote awareness, skills, and knowledge about issues related to race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, abilities, age and/or religion. Preference will be given to proposals that are tied to the goals of the Stony Brook Plan for Equity, Inclusion and Diversity.
Drawing on a total pool of $30,000, the award amount granted will be determined by the number of grants selected and approved for funding.
Application deadline is Friday, March 1, 2019. General guidelines and information on the application process can be found on this website.
Thank you for taking the time to give this important initiative serious consideration.
