Request for Proposals

In partnership with the Office of the President and the Office of Academic Affairs, the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI) and the Diversity & Equity Grant Committee invites Cal Poly Humboldt students, student organizations, staff, faculty, and underrepresented faculty to submit proposals for programs offered on campus to the university community that raise awareness, deepen understanding, and/or engage the campus community in dialogue about one or more of the multiple dimensions of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Diversity is the range of human differences. Such dimensions of diversity may include – but are not limited to – culture, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability or attributes, religious or ethical values system, national origin, and political beliefs.

Faculty: up to 5 awards each at $5,000 (Programs and/or Research)
Staff: up to 3 awards each at $5,000
Students: up to 5 awards each at $1,000

Program expenses typically funded include speaker fees, travel for visiting speakers, event publicity and marketing, various expenses associated with individual activities/programs (from facility rental to printing event handouts), and many, many more.
