Call for Inter-/Multi-Disciplinary Certificates
The Dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences announces the availability of CSBS Curriculum Innovation Mini-Grants. The aim of these grants is to support multiple teams of 3 – 5 tenured, probationary, and/or term faculty from within CSBS (or CSBS interdisciplinary programs such as Women’s & Gender Studies) to develop innovative proposals for inter-/multi-disciplinary certificates. The teams can develop certificates that would become part of UNIFI or as standalone academic offerings. These grants provide a stipend of $500 per person. Award monies will be paid as special compensation in either May or June 2022, depending on the timeline of the team.
The subject and/or content of the certificates is completely open to the teams. Some certificate possibilities that have already been discussed include a Civic Education and Engagement certificate for UNIFI, a Social Science Data and Methods certificate, a Leadership certificate, and a Human Behavior and Sustainability certificate.
