2023 Interdisciplinary Research Grants Awarded to SBS Faculty

July 6, 2023 Awards & Honors

Content

Congratulations to the recipients of 2023 Interdisciplinary Research Grants! These grants are awarded to teams of faculty members and librarians from at least two different schools/colleges within the university, with the goal of empowering creativity, promoting equitable collaboration, and showcasing excellence at UMass Amherst. The grants are offered in two categories – up to $20,000 or up to $50,000.
