The University of Florida (UF) Division of Student Affairs (DSA) believes communication and collaboration remains the foundation to cultivating an environment where Gators engage, transform, and thrive. The DSA recognizes the creativity, innovation, and talent within the staff. As the division continues to strive for comprehensively excellent programming and initiatives, teamwork and new ideas should be encouraged and supported. The DSA introduces the Collaborative Innovation Grant (CIG) to further accomplish this mission. CIG’s purpose is to provide financial support for new initiatives and collaborations within the division.
For those selected, DSA will provide grants up to $2,500 to spend to support your collaborative initiative. Those selected will also be automatically considered for the inaugural award for Best Collaboration during the Student Affairs Team Huddle.
