IDS Seed Grant Projects 2024

The IDS Seed Grant Program aims to support innovative research in the field of diversity science at UW-Madison. Research supported by the seed grants can be fundamental or applied, and it can advance knowledge on diversity, equity, and inclusion over the short or long term. Our goal is to stimulate important research that helps UW-Madison establish itself as a national leader in diversity science.

The Seed Grant Program supports research conducted by IDS affiliates.
