CCIL Planning Grant

CCIL Planning Grants are one-time awards used to bring together faculty from multiple disciplines to develop collaborative ideas, workshops, and programs or collect preliminary data over the course of one year. Recipients will each receive up to $25,000 to spark innovative research projects that have promise to earn future external and federal funding.
