Leave a comment

Application Deadline: May 27, 2024

LOCATION: USA

Impact Seed Funding (ISF) is a micro-scale grant provided by the Pulitzer Center to support education activities with the aim to enrich the perspectives and knowledge of the university community— specifically students and educators—about the problems, solutions, and innovations related to the impact of human activities in tropical forests, ocean, and the climate crisis.

ELIGIBILITY:

Applicants should be professors or researchers in a higher education institution, or groups of students guided by a responsible professor, and not have the project applied in Africa, Brazil, or Southeast Asia, as these areas have their own ISF grant. Projects carried out through consortia of professors are also very welcome. 

Type of activities we fund

Examples of activities and desirable outcomes of ISF support may include, but are not limited to: 

Educational material development: Incorporating Pulitzer Center journalism into teaching materials and syllabus, field trip program, active citizenship training.

Engagement with students, academia and public: Student writing competition, debate, public dialogue, exhibition on campus, hackathons.

Research support and dissemination of findings: This may include updating ongoing research and incorporating new insights in a book chapter, organizing a seminar.

Content production and dissemination including short videos, documentaries, podcasts.

BENEFIT:

ISF grants range from US$2,000 to US$4,000 (US dollars). We expect projects to be implemented and concluded within five months of approval.
