Applications are sought for single investigator, one-year OVPR diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) supplements to existing externally funded awards. The Principal Investigator (PI) will be awarded up to $25k to advance their science while recruiting, retaining, and advancing UI students who support diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in research, with a preference for students from traditionally marginalized groups. The goals are for the PI to advance the aims of the externally funded award’s science while engaging these students in mentored research and training experiences that prepare them to excel as next generation researchers and scholars. In FY22, it is anticipated that there will be at least 10 OVPR DEI supplements funded through SEI.

Applications are due March 1, 2023. See the RFP and how to apply here.
