STEAM Innovation Grant – Call for Proposals
The School of Fine Arts is pleased to be able once again to offer this program in support of collaborative STEAM research, made possible with funds provided by the OVPR. A total of $60,000 in funding is available for this year’s competition.
The purpose of the program is to encourage innovative collaborations between the arts and STEM disciplines (e.g. all disciplines housed in the Schools of Engineering or Medicine, or the College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources, or those sciences, including social sciences, in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences). Projects funded by this grant may result in publications, exhibitions, performances, academic symposia, or other research outcomes. Preference will be given to proposals which identify specific external grant opportunities that have the potential to support sustainable (e.g., multi-year) collaborations.
Projects must include at least one Co-PI from the School of Fine Arts and at least one Co-PI from another school or college at UConn/UConn Health. If the sole Co-PI external to the School of Fine Arts is housed in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, this individual must be in a discipline outside the humanities. For example, a collaboration between faculty in Music and English would not qualify, but a project involving Music and Physics would be eligible (as would a collaboration involving Music, Physics, and English).
Application deadline: 5.00 p.m., Tuesday, November 26.
Awards will be announced on Friday, December 20.
