Congratulations to the recipients of our 2011 Seed Grant awards!

The Seed Grants for Outreach and International Activities program
call for proposals is now closed for Fall 2011.

The next call for proposals will be released on September 10, 2012.

In 2001, our office established the New Initiatives/Seed Grant Program to give life to bold ideas in outreach and international programs. So far we have awarded over $1,000,000 to 118 diverse programs across the UC Davis campus.

We request proposals that will foster new and creative programs related to:

• International research, educational and academic outreach activities and programs

• Continuing, distance and lifelong learning and academic engagement with the broader society

Funding ranges from $5,000 to $15,000 per proposal.
