President’s Diversity & Inclusion Mini-Grant Program
This message to all students, faculty and staff has been approved by Renisha Gibbs, Associate Vice President for Human Resources and Finance & Administration Chief of Staff.
Florida State University is committed to supporting efforts that move us closer to realizing the vision of a campus community where our differences and similarities are equally valued. By celebrating and valuing the differences and similarities of our students, faculty, and staff, we inspire an environment of innovation and passion – one that better reflects the needs of our community.
To that end, we are pleased to announce the application period for the annual President’s Diversity & Inclusion Mini-Grant Program. In alignment with the University’s Strategic Plan, the Office of the President, through the Diversity & Inclusion Council, is soliciting proposals for projects that advance Florida State’s diversity goals.
Mini-grant proposals will be accepted and reviewed for all diversity-related areas, with emphasis on these target goals:
- Enhancing the quality of teaching and learning about diversity.
- Creating a welcoming and inclusive work and learning environment where differences are respected and valued.
- Improving recruitment, retention, and graduation of students from historically underrepresented groups.
- Increasing recruitment, retention, and success of faculty from historically underrepresented groups.
The Mini-Grant Instructions contain proposal criteria, funding information, and the application process. The application portal will open on October 5, 2022. Proposals must be submitted no later than November 7, 2022. Grants may be awarded up to $1,000 each. Awards will be announced in November. Please direct questions to Betsy Staudt Willet at 850-644-7703 or es22bk@fsu.edu.
