UC Dissertation Fellowship & Faculty Seed Grant Opportunity

Applications Submissions Open: Wednesday, March 6, 2013

Application Deadline: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 by 5:00pm

UC/ACCORD All Campus Consortium on Research for Diversity announces a
call for proposals in two categories. UC/ACCORD was established to
engage UC scholars in research that will support and inform efforts to
replace prevailing patterns of schooling inequality and disparities in
access to higher education with equitable conditions and outcomes for
children from all sectors of our diverse state. UC/ACCORD is
interested in increasing the number of graduate students and faculty
within the UC system who are working in areas that inform its goals.
It also supports scholars who have been working in this area for whom
additional funding can support a better connection with UC/ACCORD
activities.

While UC/ACCORD will consider all research proposals that are
consistent with the goal of making a college education possible for
all of California's students, and increasing diversity within its
institutions of higher education, this call focuses on three research
categories.

1) Critical transitions in the lives of underrepresented students.
2) Critical conditions for enhancing college opportunities for
underrepresented students.
3) Critical issues related to making higher education accessible to
all Californians.

Awards are available for:
A) One Year Dissertation Fellowships
B) Faculty Research Seed Grants
