The Chancellor's Outreach Advisory Board and its Faculty Outreach Grants Review Committee encourage applications for faculty- or staff-inspired programs that serve critical educational needs of K-12 and community college students in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties. Increasing faculty engagement with UCSB’s partner schools is another goal of the grants, which will usually range under $20,000 but may climb to $40,000.

Two copies of proposals for Faculty Outreach Grant-supported activities, which may be on a one-time or continuing (2-year) basis, are due by 5 p.m. on Jan. 25, 2008, at the Academic Preparation Office in the Office of Academic Preparation and Equal Opportunity (APEO). The projects require an evaluation mechanism, which must be reviewed by APEO’s Lisa Figueroa (x4789) no later than one week before submission, according to the application guidelines. See details at <www.apeo.ucsb.edu/ap/index.html>.

Application details or questions can also be addressed to Claudia Martinez (x3105). Award-winning proposals will be announced by March 10, according to Sarah Fenstermaker, faculty chair of the FOG Review Committee.

E-mail submission of the proposals in MS Word (or rich text format) to Martinez at claudia.martinez@apeo.ucsb.edu is also acceptable.
