CITRIS at UC Davis, the Blum Center for Developing Economies, the
Center for Regional Change, and the Institute
for Social Sciences are announcing its inaugural small
seed grants competition to support pilot projects that
promote social good, foster collaboration across
disciplines within UC Davis, and enable outreach with
community organizations.
We are soliciting proposals for pilot projects that
promote social good through both technological as
well as systems development advances to support healthy,
sustainable, prosperous, and equitable livelihoods within
underserved communities in the United States and abroad.
Projects that use online tools, including social media,
mapping interfaces, and websites to enhance public engagement in
cultural, political, social, and economic issues are
encouraged, as well as innovative business, marketing and
development applications. Proposals will be accepted in one or
more of the following areas: field testing; market research and
impact or life cycle cost/benefit analysis; assessment of
financial viability; and/or development of innovative
technological solutions, product or system designs that
demonstrate effectiveness in
promoting social good and have the potential for
scale‐up. Projects need not encompass all of these components,
and projects devoted to developing new solutions, technologies
and/or advancing fundamental knowledge essential to sustainable
practices are encouraged.
Deadline to apply for up to $5K in funding is June 1.
