MUTUAL MENTORING GRANT PROGRAM

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS OPENS SOON!

The Faculty Diversity Collaborative (FDC) is excited to announce that it will begin accepting applications in January for the 2024-2025 Mutual Mentoring Grant Program.

 The program offers funds to support faculty at any career stage by assisting in developing robust mentorship networks, within and outside of Rutgers University, in order to combat isolation and ensure that all faculty have the resources they need to thrive and excel. Nearly $100,000 was awarded to Rutgers faculty across all campuses in 2023. You can read more about the funded projects here.
