The Diversity Fund provides small grants to initiatives aimed at furthering the University’s commitment to equality and diversity, with the aim of delivering a lasting change in culture across the collegiate University. Total funding of £70,000 is available for the academic year 2019-20 and it is anticipated that around six projects will receive funding.
Bids are welcome in respect of any area of equality and diversity, but priority will be given to those that:
- Contribute to the University’s equality and diversity priorities outlined in the Strategic Plan.
- Demonstrate breadth of impact and/or the scope for good practice to be applied more widely.
- Address challenges in new ways.
- Demonstrate how the impact of the project will be sustained beyond the initial funding period.
The Diversity Fund is open to all staff at the University, and the application process is simple. Students are also welcome to apply but must have the support of an academic sponsor.

The closing date for applications is Friday 28 June.
