Colleagues,

In response to collective feedback, the deadline for the second round of proposals for the Weitz Innovation and Excellence Fund has been extended to January 17th.

This adjustment is intended to support cross-college conversations and collaborations without needing to work extensively over the holidays. We hope this additional time will help facilitate the development of strong, collaborative proposals.

If you have any questions about the extension or the proposal process, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your continued efforts to encourage and support faculty engagement with this important opportunity.

Best Regards,

Phil He, Ph.D.

Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
