The College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS) Inclusion Committee invites applications and nominations for the newly established CHSS Inclusion Grants and Awards; the committee will award up to $10,000. Many of our CHSS faculty and staff are already seriously engaged with promoting UVU’s focus on inclusion in their activities and scholarship Inclusion Grants provide an opportunity for monetary support for nominees’ continued pursuit of inclusion. Inclusion Awards recognize individuals and programs whose past and continued work for inclusion sets the bar for the rest of CHSS. As such, the Inclusion Grants and Awards program serves a two-fold purpose: providing support for existing inclusion efforts and encouraging members of CHSS to consider the value of inclusion in planning future activities.
In preparing your application, consider utilizing UVU’s Strategic Inclusion Committee definitions.
Inclusion Awards recognize individuals and programs whose past and continued work for inclusion and sets the bar for the rest of CHSS. The CHSS Inclusion Committee invites nominations and self-nominations for the CHSS Inclusion Awards by February 15. There are three award categories: one for a program, department, or other organization within CHSS; an individual award for a CHSS faculty member; and a separate award for a CHSS staff member. Recipients will be celebrated during the Dean’s Awards in April.
There will be two calls for application for CHSS Inclusion Grants, with deadlines in Fall (October 15) and Spring (February 15). The Inclusion Grant application process is similar to that of the ELLA Grant. Possibilities for applications include, but are not limited to, a speaker or event with an inclusion focus, underrepresented student outreach or support, and research related to questions of inclusion. Within one month of the application deadline, the CHSS Inclusion Committee will notify applicants of the decision. Inclusion Grant funds must be used by the end of the academic year on June 30.
