A mentoring and career development program for students who have historically been excluded from STEM fields.
A series of boot camps aimed at bridging the cybersecurity skills gap and making cybersecurity education more accessible to diverse populations.
Accommodations for students with disabilities that enable them to actively participate in hands-on laboratory activities.
These are among the 20 projects that will receive funding as part of the 2021 Pitt Seed Grant program. The program, now in its fourth year, provides startup funding to transformative projects that support the goals of Pitt’s strategic plan.
“Once again this year, proposals for Pitt Seed Grant funding were exceptional,” said Provost and Senior Vice Chancellor Ann E. Cudd. “That said, this year’s selected projects — focused on transformative ideas in the social justice, equity and inclusion spaces — are particularly exciting, and I look forward to seeing the results of those efforts.”
