Funding Opportunities

Funding for Academic Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Programming

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Program encourages conversations, learning experiences, and other events in alignment with the program's goals both inside and outside the classroom. Up to $2000 in funds may be requested and is allowed to be used in various ways. For example, funding can be used to create a proposal for a course that satisfies the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Requirement, to improve or revamp existing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Courses, or to enable further conversation outside of the classroom related to the various topics that satisfy the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Requirement. The call for proposals for Spring 2025 can be found here and is due on November 25th, 2024.

This is independent of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Course Mini Grant, which is funding requested during the process of submitting course for the designation for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Requirement (see below). 

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Course Mini Grants

To increase diversity among UC San Diego courses and encourage the development of new courses, Senate faculty may be provided $1,500 for new or substantially revised courses approved by UGC to fulfill the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion requirement. Up to 10 new courses will be supported by this mechanism annually.

To receive this funding, you must submit an Diversity, Equity and Inclusion mini grant proposal highlighting the course development and budget, which is to be submitted alongside the syllabus, eCourse form, and other materials outlined in the course proposal submission Form. A complete mini-grant applications requires the submission of both forms.  Please review the Spring 2025 call for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Course proposals or the academic senate office website for more information on submitting a proposal for anDiversity, Equity and Inclusion course.
