Dear colleagues:

UCI is committed to addressing some of the world’s most challenging problems through interdisciplinary collaboration. In support of this vision, I am pleased to announce our fourth call for Academic Inititatives proposals.

The Academic Initiatives program provides campus resources to promote cross­discipline partnerships, research, educational programs, inclusive excellence, outreach and community engagement — all key elements in achieving UCI’s strategic goals.

Full program details and instructions are available on the Academic Planning website. Complete, team­based proposal are due to the Office of Academic Planning, via acadplan@uci.edu by 10:00am, April 18, 2018. Please contact Vice Provost Judith Stepan Norris at jstepann@uci.edu with any questions.

Sincerely,

Enrique J. Lavernia, Ph.D.
