The DIIF is targeted to promote CLAS's strategic priority "to enhance diversity across the college and foster a culture of inclusion." The DIIF aims particularly to fund projects that encourage people to think about diversity and inclusion in meaningful ways and to make positive changes in CLAS and the broader campus. To achieve this goal, DIIF projects should address broad audiences rather than small groups. All CLAS students, faculty, and staff are eligible to apply. Applications may have multiple participants, and participation of faculty, staff, and students from other colleges on the project is acceptable. However, the principal awardee must be a member of CLAS.
DIIF supports two types of awards
- Deadline awards (DA) of up to $2,500, with Fall and Spring semester deadlines: this semester's deadline is March 2
- Rolling awards (RA) of up to $500, with applications taken throughout the academic year.
