School Committees

The Dean of Physical Sciences and the Committee on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion welcome applications for funding projects designed to address EDI-related issues in the school and its departments.

• Travel to EDI conference
• Development of new EDI-related outreach effort
• Hosting EDI panel of speakers for the school or campus
• Developing a summer program for students from an under-represented group
• Professional development that is EDI-specific

Ideas for proposals are in no way limited to this list and can encompass any aspect of EDI that you feel could positively impact the division or its departments. We particularly encourage proposals that include multiple faculty and/or departments.

Amount of funding will be based upon available resources and the scope of the project; additionally, funding may come from multiple sources. For this reason, and to ensure inclusion of each department in this process, applicants should follow these instructions:

• Create a pre-proposal which includes these elements:
  
  • Short description of the activity (~1 page)
  • Budget needed, with justification
  • Potential for applying to campus EDI grants if relevant (for details, see Funding Opportunities)
  • Any planned assessment efforts of impact, if relevant
• Send this pre-proposal to the Associate Dean for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion with cc: to your department chair and diversity committee chair (if applicable). Pre-proposals are accepted on a rolling basis.
• Feedback will be provided as to what aspects of this proposal are likely to move forward, along with any questions about the proposal itself. A formal proposal will be created through this process.
• The AD EDI along with the School Committee on EDI will evaluate proposals.
• The AD EDI will communicate with the department to assess whether cost sharing is appropriate for proposals that are recommended for funding.
• Applicant will be informed of funding available for the proposed project, along with any stipulations for evaluation/assessment.
