The Connect and Collaborate Grants Program incentivizes faculty, staff, students and their public/private sector community partners to submit pre-proposals which have the potential to catalyze engaged, collaborative teaching and research activities benefiting the community and university.
Grant funds will be made available on a competitive basis using three grant tracks.
Planning Grants (up to $25,000)
Planning grants support development or improvement of a program at any point in its life-cycle. Teams that demonstrate support and excitement for starting or enhancing a program will be invited to develop an action plan designed to move the program to the next logical stage.
Implementation Grants (up to $40,000)
Implementation grants are intended for programs with a clear purpose based on demonstrated need, comprehensive planning, where partnerships are established, and early successes have accrued.
Expansion Grants (up to $70,000)
Expansion grants support scale-up of an established program’s infrastructure and capacity to increase positive impacts. Expansion grants provide funds to existing programs deemed to be of high quality based on documented evidence.
Pre-proposals are due Wednesday, Feb. 1.
An information session will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 17 at 11:30 a.m. in the Research Commons and can also be viewed online at https://carmenconnect.osu.edu/jan17ccgrants.
