Provost’s office requests Baldwin grant proposals

The provost’s office is soliciting proposals from faculty, staff and students for the spring 2011 Ira and Ineva Reilly Baldwin Wisconsin Idea Endowment competition.

Proposals are encouraged for new outreach and public engagement activities that partner with community and off-campus organizations to extend and apply our research, education and clinical knowledge to help solve problems or take advantage of opportunities. Projects may begin on or after July 1, 2011, and last up to three years. Proposals for initiatives up to $120,000 are encouraged. This year the endowment will grant approximately $700,000 through the competition.

The Reilly Baldwin Wisconsin Idea Endowment call for proposals involves two steps: UW–Madison faculty, staff or students must first submit a pre-proposal; and individuals whose pre-proposals are accepted will be invited to submit a full proposal. Pre- and full proposals must be signed off at the departmental and dean’s/director’s levels before submission to the Office of the Provost. Pre-proposals are due in dean’s and director’s offices by noon on Wednesday, Feb. 2. Signed copies of the pre-proposals are due in the provost’s office by noon on Wednesday, Feb. 9. Pre-proposal finalists will be announced by Wednesday, March 16.
