I am pleased to announce the launch of President Cartwright’s 2021-22 Strategic Investment Program, which invests in core academic activities to support the president’s vision that UCF will become the world’s leading public metropolitan research university. Faculty and staff are encouraged to submit proposals.
This initiative will award up to $50 million during the current fiscal year to advance UCF’s academic excellence, student success, and impact. The funds are a combination of $30 million in central funds and up to $20 million in matches from colleges and units.
Proposals are invited in three priority investment categories: the Jump Start Fund, Academic Excellence Fund, and Student Success Fund. Each fund has specific goals, submission requirements, guidelines, and deadlines. For more information, visit the provost’s website.
We intend these investments to take areas of existing academic excellence to the next level as we seek to benefit lives and make a difference in society. We look forward to proposals of great significance.
