The University Diversity Fund (UDF) 2024-2025 is now open to applications from staff and students.
The UDF provides grants of up to £1,500 to projects across the University that meet at least one of the four objectives:
1. Raise awareness about issues related to equality and inclusion, and challenge inequalities such as racism, gender inequality, disablism or homophobia.
2. Increase the representation of women, racially minoritised staff and students and other underrepresented groups.
3. Address barriers faced by particular groups.
4. Facilitate the implementation of good practice in equality and inclusion.
Additionally, there will be funding (£1,500 each) for three projects focusing specifically on anti-racism.
All students and University staff, as well as student societies and staff networks, are eligible to apply if they have a project that meets one of the above criteria. Funding will be allocated to the respective institution – not to individuals directly – and will be administered by the institution.
If you have a project that fits the criteria and you would like to apply to the UDF, please read the Applicant Information Pack, fill in the Application Form and send it to equality@admin.cam.ac.uk.
The closing date for applications is Wednesday 22 January 2025 at 5pm.
