Tag: Annual Cycle

What is your new, radical idea that will advance UVA and enrich the student experience? We want to hear it in our 2024–25 Annual Cycle, open now!

Proposals can come from students, faculty, and staff for an array of new programs and projects—everything from starting a new student group to supporting an innovative research project to seeding a University initiative. The Annual Cycle grants typically range from $10,000 to over $300,000, but there are no minimums and maximums vary based on available funds.

Key dates:

• Now: Letter of Inquiry (LOI) forms are available in the grant portal and can be submitted today. LOIs submitted before September 1 may be invited to edit and resubmit.
• October 1: Last day to submit a finalized LOI. From there, selected LOIs move to the proposal stage.
• October 31: Proposal deadline. Decisions are made in December, with possible invitation to the next stage.
• January 2025: Proposal pitches.
• February 2025: Grants awarded.

Get started today. You may preview the LOI or Annual Cycle Proposal forms, and when you’re ready to submit your LOI, log on to our Grant Portal. Questions? Contact our Director of Grants, Amy Bonner.

New. Radical. Novel. Fun. These are some of the adjectives that describe the ideas we fund. Our 2024–25 Annual Cycle is open, and we are looking for ideas that will break the mold and chart an exciting path forward. If you have an idea that will advance UVA or enrich the student experience, we’d love to hear it.
