CU Boulder faculty, staff and students, are you doing research, teaching or creative work that connects with communities across the state and beyond?
The CU Boulder Outreach Awards Committee and the Office for Outreach and Engagement are accepting proposals through Feb. 5, 2021 to support this type of scholarship.
The annual CU Boulder Outreach Awards (selected by an interdisciplinary campus committee) as well as the office's Community Impact and Micro Grant programs fund project-related expenses such as materials, supplies, equipment and more. Each funding type has its own selection criteria, application requirements and allowable expenses. Note that in-person activities are not eligible for funding until fall 2021.
