Requests for Funding

Please note that the Center’s financial resources are relatively small. For this reason, our funding policy is that these resources will only be spent to support the Center’s workshops, colloquium series, lunch series, and lunch series blog.

We regret that we cannot support any other requests for funding, such as funds for bringing other visitors to campus, contributing to other workshops, seeding research projects, etc.
