*NEW* Mellon Foundation “Just Futures Initiative” RFA
Posted: 8/14/2020 (Funding)
Applications are open for UW researchers to submit proposals to the Mellon Foundation’s newly launched “Just Futures Initiative”. The program aims to support multi-disciplinary teams that include scholars from the humanities, arts, and humanities-inflected social sciences whose work focuses specifically on racial inequality. Awards of a maximum of $5 million each with a 2-3 year duration are available. More information about the award can be found at this link. Faculty members who are PIs on, or are otherwise involved in current Mellon grants, are welcome to apply for this new opportunity.
To support UW faculty in navigating Mellon’s complex online proposal submission system and encourage approaching this opportunity in the most strategic way possible, the process will be coordinated centrally. Lauren Honaker, Senior Director of Foundation Relations (lhonaker@uw.edu) and Felicia Gonzalez, Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations for Arts and Sciences (feliciag@uw.edu) will serve as a resource and provide access to the online grant system.
