On May 22, 2019, the UMass ADVANCE Program held an Information workshop on the new Collaborative Research Seed Grant program which seeks to foster the development of innovative and equitable collaborative research projects among UMass Amherst faculty. Funded seed grants at UMass will contribute to the mission of the National Science Foundation ADVANCE program, which is advancing women faculty, including women faculty of color, in science and engineering.

The seed grant application deadline is September 17, 2019.

Information on the Collaborative Research Seed Grant RFP and the proposal requirements are available for download here and on the UMass ADVANCE website.

The workshop slides and a seed grant FAQ are available here and at the ADVANCE website..
