DEI Innovation Grant Program Opens Today

NOVA’s Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, in partnership with the NOVA Foundation Board of Directors, has allocated resources for a new grant program focused on diversity, equity and inclusion. The application cycle begins today!   

NOVA’s DEI InNOVAtion grants program offers faculty and staff an opportunity to apply for funding to allow for the pursuit of imaginative and innovative projects that further the college’s commitment to inclusive excellence and support the college’s current strategic plan in its emphasis on furthering diversity, equity and inclusion for faculty, staff and students. Grant allotments can range between $1,000 – $7,000 for the DEI project.

Projects that are specific and substantive and show a direct impact on students or the NOVA community are encouraged. Proposals should also have a college-wide impact. Cross campus, cross department or community partner collaboration is also encouraged.   

Grant awardees will be asked to present an impact report at the NOVA Foundation Board meeting as well as via other Office of DEI events. 

If you have any questions please contact. Dr. Nathan Carter, Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer, nacater@nvcc.edu  For more information or to apply, visit the InNOVAtion Grant pageon the DEI site.
