The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) is accepting applications for the JEDI internal funding program. Eligible faculty can apply using the UConn Quest Portal (NetID required). Please click the link below to find out more about the project and eligibility guidelines for the JEDI program.
The UConn Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) Research Initiative aims to support innovative research, scholarship, and creative work in topic areas related to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI). We seek to fund projects that have the potential to make significant contributions to ongoing scholarly/scientific/artistic conversations in these vitally important domains. Projects that aim to improve UConn’s competitiveness for emerging external funding opportunities related to JEDI or that propose novel interdisciplinary collaborations are particularly encouraged. Awards range from level 1 (up to $5,000), level 2 (up to $20,000) to level 3 (up to $60,000).
