IDRO Internal Outreach Networking Grant

The IDRO Internal Outreach Networking Grant encourages College of Design faculty to conduct outreach activities that engage communities in Iowa, or to develop ideas that can become the basis for future larger-scale funding requests. The Institute for Design Research and Outreach plans to design future outreach networking events around themes developed with the advice of the Research, Extension and Outreach Council.

Funding: Up to $5,000 (two available)
