Applications for the DEI Innovation Grant Program Due Nov. 1

Applications for the InNOVAtion grant program, offered by the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in partnership with the NOVA Foundation Board of Directors, are due by Monday, November 1.

NOVA’s DEI InNOVAation 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, nacarter@nvcc.edu  For more information or to apply, visit the InNOVAtion Grant page on the DEI site.
