The George Washington University’s Global Food Institute (GFI) invites you to submit proposals for the development or re-development of courses in the focal areas of food policy, innovation, and the humanities to support a new undergraduate minor degree program in food studies. The deadline for applications is Friday, November 10th, 2023.
GFI will foster faculty development, activities and student engagement through courses focused on action related to food policy, innovation, and the humanities. Funding from the Rockefeller Foundation will be used toward a grant program for faculty to develop new courses in each of these focus areas. The goal is to create new courses university-wide that grow GW’s expertise in food related activities, and to energize students to find novel solutions to the multiple inequities and adverse effects of the food supply chain. Funding for course development will range from $10,000 to $25,000, with preferential and higher levels of funding provided to courses that actively engage students in experiential learning.
