Urban Innovation Faculty Grant Program

On behalf of the Office of the President, GGCI is pleased to invite faculty scholarship proposals that showcase and foster urban innovation— a project to invite Georgetown faculty to research ideas that advance Georgetown’s role in Washington, D.C., having both local impact and global reach.  

 

As the oldest university in the nation's capital, Georgetown can develop and disseminate knowledge that serves our Washington, D.C. stakeholders. With the development of the Capitol Campus, the University’s relationship with our home city enters a new phase. President DeGioia has stated, “This is a time to unlock our imagination.”

 

For detailed information and to apply.

 

At President DeGioia’s request, a faculty working group has been formed from schools and departments across the university. The working group has developed this call for proposals up to $15,000 and seeks to award a first round of $75,000 in faculty research grants in January. The purpose is to explore the broader social impact of the new Capitol Campus's growth on surrounding neighborhoods and other community-based participatory research.

Carla Shedd, Ph.D., Department of Sociology
