Inclusive Excellence Initiative Grant
The Inclusive Excellence Initiative Grants are designed to activate Goal 1 and/or Goal 5 of the 2030 Strategic Plan; becoming the nation's 1st equity-serving institution and becoming a people-centered best place to work.
This funding supports initiatives, research and creative projects that generate a process to promote and support curricular and co-curricular inclusive excellence efforts that address a specific challenge at CU Denver tied to our strategic plan.
Becoming the nation’s first equity-serving institution means we are creating an environment where one’s racial and social identity no longer predetermines educational outcomes and professional advancement opportunities. We recognize inequities among all underserved communities and strive to address them through multifaceted approaches that include policy and structural reforms, inclusive academic programming and research opportunities, inclusive hiring and retention practices, and mutually beneficial partnerships.
Inclusive Excellence Initiative Grant proposals must be submitted by CU Denver faculty, staff or students. Students or student groups interested in submitting a proposal will need to have a faculty or staff advisor/sponsor.
Proposal funding is for the 2024 – 2025 academic year with a maximum request of $10,000.
