Discipline-Specific Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging Training and Education Proposals

Overview

The Office of the Provost seeks proposals from Department Chairs, Deans, and/or Program Directors that will foster a culture of belonging through discipline or department-specific proposals. The goal of this program is to engage faculty in dialogue and learning opportunities designed to explore and improve the departmental work environment and increase faculty satisfaction. Successful proposals will create or promote novel diversity, equity, and inclusion education, training, and programming. Proposals will be funded on a rolling basis.

Levels of support will be dependent upon the proposal scope:

• DEIB educational opportunities for faculty at the departmental level ($500 - $1500).
• DEIB educational opportunities for faculty and students at the departmental level ($1000 - $2000).
• DEIB educational opportunities/Conference/Other for an event with greater than or equal to 100 people ($2000 - $4000).
• DEIB educational opportunities/Conference/Other for an event with greater than or equal to 1000 people ($3000 - $5000).
