Diversity Fund 2018-19
Application deadline: 25th June 2018
The call for applications to the Diversity Fund 2018-19 is now open, with a closing date of 25 June. The Diversity Fund is a £70,000 annual fund which provides small grants to initiatives aimed at furthering the University’s commitment to advancing diversity at Oxford. Further information, and the application form, can be found here: http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/eop/inpractice/df/
Applications are welcomed which:
- Contribute to identified institutional and/or divisional objectives (for example, those outlined in the Strategic Plan, institutional Athena SWAN and Race Equality Charter action plans, or divisional five-year plans).
- Demonstrate breadth of impact, through benefit to staff and/or students across a number of departments/divisions, and/or the scope for good practice to be applied more widely, and/or the scope for external influence.
- Address challenges identified in new ways.
- Demonstrate how the impact of the project will be sustained beyond the initial funding period.
Funding is unlikely to be awarded for:
- A project which benefits only a single department, except where it is for an innovative pilot activity with clear plans for broader application.
- Activities which form part of the normal day-to-day operations of a department.
- Activities for which we would normally expect other financial support to exist within the University or externally, including funding for a member of staff
