Overview

The School and Institute for the Future of Innovation in Society is committed to fostering a radically interdisciplinary research culture comprised of dynamic, sustainable partnerships, and societally relevant outputs. Success in doing so requires investment in more than developing ideas, but importantly, investment must also be made into the process of developing rapport between collaborators and stakeholders. SFIS/IFIS is offering a new funding mechanism for 2019-20: COLLABORATIVE TEAM MICROGRANT – Participation in the SFIS/IFIS COLLABORATIVE MICROGRANT program is a year-long (July 2019 - June 2020) commitment to developing a cross-campus collaboration, with $1,000 to invest in team meetings. Beyond financial support, the hallmark of this program is the accompanying programmatic resources and research development support that will aide collaborators in achieving their vision. This support includes access to an array of tools and customized research development seminars facilitated by SFIS/IFIS’ Research Development and Advancement (RDA) team, as well access to expert navigation of the university and its resources, expertise and processes. At least one team member must be an SFIS faculty member. Teams may range from a single individual with a compelling vision for a campus-wide collaboration, to a partial team with ambitions of incorporating new disciplinary perspectives, to a set of individuals that are interested in collaborating but haven’t yet. Upon accepting the microgrant, participants will commit to: <ul> <li>A launch meeting facilitated by SFIS/IFIS’ RDA team</li> <li>Working with SFIS/IFIS’ RDA team to co-develop a strategy and schedule for achieving the vision </li> <li>Participation in an exclusive, hosted event on Thursday 30 April, 2020, that showcases the cohort of outgoing awardees and welcomes incoming awardees</li> </ul> Awardees will also be invited to participate in workshops, seminars, and social events organized by SFIS/IFIS, and non-SFIS faculty will be invited to become an IFIS Fellow upon the completion of their term.
