The Interdisciplinary Research Grant 2020/2021 program seeks to support and encourage faculty researchers who will tackle challenges or problems that affect the needs of urban populations and the urban environment. We encourage applications that address specific challenges in ways that can be approached by combining expertise across disciplines (such as the health/social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities). The goal of this program is to provide seed funding for projects that will become eligible and competitive for external funding. Application Documents may be accessed from the Interdisciplinary Research Grant page on the CUNY website.
