• Funding requests can be made for up to $25,000 and must be for a two-year period.
  

Major Collaborative Scholarship Development Activity Award:

• Support funds for a team to plan and implement an innovative activity (e.g., major workshop, summer school, conference) that leads to significant, impactful scholarly outcomes and accomplishments for members of the SC&I research community and/or to SC&I-based developments that demonstrably advance the capabilities for research excellence in the SC&I research community.
• Team commits to completing activities before the award period ends.
• Funding requests can be made for up to $25,000 and must be for a two-year period.

Basic Collaborative Scholarship Development Activity Award:
