ECE Diversity, Outreach and Inclusion Seed Fund

In Spring 2021, The OSU ECE Department established a matching funds account to support activities in diversity, outreach, and inclusion. Any ECE student organization, staff member, or faculty member can apply to match funding from the University, College, State of Ohio, National Science Foundation, or industry partner. ECE alumni are welcome to apply for seeds funds, provided they would be working with current ECE students, staff, or faculty on the activity. Matching is typically cash, but may be in-kind. Note the fund can be used as seed to approach partners for matching or to include matching in a proposal. Preference given to sustainable activities with defined measures of outcomes. The average grant in summer 2021 was $1,100. Email Carol Duhigg duhigg.2@osu.edu or Lee Potter potter.36@osu.edu to learn more or apply.
