Proposals & Grants

Community Impact Grants

The Notre Dame Center for Social Concerns seeks to advance its mission by awarding Community Impact Grants to Notre Dame faculty, students, staff, and community partners for community-engaged research, teaching, and learning that enact the values of Catholic social tradition. Successful grant proposals show collaboration among campus and community partners and advance academic community engagement with an aim toward social justice impact.

The center highly encourages projects that align with its special interests for the 2020–21 academic year, all of which can address issues related to or impact by COVID-19 as well:

Economic equity/poverty/just wage
Racial justice
Environmental justice
Public health (especially mental health and homelessness)

Connections to our 2020–21 Catholic social tradition theme, “Justice in the World," are also prioritized.

Due to COVID challenges, there will be only one proposal timeline and proposals are due by 4:30 p.m. Oct. 26. Applicants may request grants up to $15,000.

Study Abroad Proposal Process

Notre Dame faculty are invited to propose and plan a faculty-led credit-bearing overseas academic program with the assistance of NDI. The program should be 8 weeks or less with a maximum of two 3-credit courses. The focus of this proposal process is to help plan and implement selected and approved programs. Faculty who lead credit-bearing programs independent of NDI are strongly encouraged to consult with NDI for health and safety guidelines, and to consider services NDI can provide. An abstract is due June 15, the year prior to the proposed program’s launch. More information can be found here.

INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH TRAVEL GRANT

The goal of the program is to act as a catalyst for international research collaborations by funding travel for individuals or groups exploring long-term research collaborations. Funds can be used to cover travel expenses for individual faculty and up to a team of three interdisciplinary faculty members. Upcoming application cycles are Jan. 20-Feb. 19, 2020, and Feb. 28-March 21, 2020. More information can be found here.
